Abstract

It is quite daunting to identify the best technological option to address the issues highlighted by an ABC/M implementation program. The simplest solution maybe data transfer through flat files, which can run across multiple databases. This option, however, would involve frequently writing and updating certain routines and procedures in the various databases involved. It is important to recognize that ABC/M is just another technique in the bouquet of management concepts.
