Mobile Managerial Time Management: A Study on High-Ranking Managers' Time Management Needs and Attitudes

Anna Sell, Mobile Managerial Time Management: A Study on High-Ranking Managers' Time Management Needs and Attitudes. In: Decision Making and Decision Support in the Internet Age, Proceedings of DSIAge2002, 2002.

Abstract:

<p>New technologies offer possibilities to build improved mobile time management tools, with added support and smarter functions to automate schedule and task planning for the busy, mobile manager. This raises numerous questions, such as what managers really need from a time management tool, and how do they use their existing tools.
</p>
<p>
The study at hand was carried out to find some answers to these questions, through a survey answered by 54 high-ranking managers in Finnish IT- and biotechnology companies. The results indicate that mobile time management, with capabilities for group time management and automated planning functions, will indeed be a powerful tool for the future manager. The current mobile tools suffer, however, from poor or difficult possibilities for synchronisation, and from the fact that they are not sufficiently easy and intuitive to use.
