Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
1.7 Background of the Study
Office Technology and Management department is one of the departments in the school of Business studies at the Institute of Management and Technology Enugu.
The department was established in the year 1973 with the sole aim of training students in secretarial course. The department since its inception has been trying her best in producing competent secretaries inspite of inadequate equipments.
In view of the present technological advancement in the world today, it is now observed that the Office Technology and Management department is lacking behind in the most office automation, hence this research work. The department lacks some of the essential equipment and facilities needed for effective learning process such as telephone, fax machines, scanners, printer, computers, electronic typewriters etc. The unfortunate thing is that despite the great change in technology, the department is yet to be equipped with these modern machine. They still make use of the manual office machine. If they embrace the new technological equipments they will have a great change in output.
