  The IPM examination system provides a unique route into professional personnel practice. The Management Studies series forms the essential reading for all IPM students. Management Studies I provides practical introductory texts ideally suited to students on the Professional Management Foundation Programme while Management Studies 2 covers the core subject areas of the IPM Stage 2 syllabus. All these texts will prove equally useful for practising managers who wish to enhance their understanding of contemporary management techniques and methods. All organisations need a Management Information System which will provide a constant flow of relevant information to meet managers' needs. Roland and Frances Bee describe how such a system can be set up and then look at the basic sources of data and the statistical techniques like probability, sampling, correlation and decision-analysis which can be used to convert raw data into real information. The book concludes with a clear survey of the advantages of computerising management information, and the best ways of selecting and setting up the right system.
