Why build a system for Multinational?: Attitude of senior management

Before the arrival of the new MD, Tim, and the creation of X, the drive to computerise Multinational Business at management level was not particularly strong. There seems to have been an attitude that getting the business was more important than control (00812, 00478) and consequently senior management could not see the need for a computer system (00695). This contrasts with the importance that Keith gave to controlling the business (00812) which perhaps reflected his experiences in Indonesia.
