    The decision to drop the A-bomb was chosen for several reasons, first and foremost to end the war against Japan. This strategy was decided upon because Japan's war-fighting industries were highly concentrated in metropolitan areas, but weren't zoned away from residential areas, and those cities had a high proportion of flammable materials. Operation Downfall was the original plan which caused for a massive invasion of Japan by mostly US forces. The casualty estimates were between 1-3 million. This was unacceptable and of the 100 million people living in Japan, about 90-95 million would be a casualty due to the insanity of the peoples devotion to the Emporer. What came about in the Trinity Project was a way to end the way in the quickest possible way. But it was not only to end the war, another reason is elieved to have been to intimidate the Soviets so that they would vacate eastern Europe (which they didnt do). The US actions were justified and believe it or not, taken literally not a single civilian was killed in the bombings. Japan had declared that if the US invaded Japan they would face an army of 100 million which automatically drafted all of their citizens into their military. Now they were obviously mostly innocent people but you have break eggs to make omlets. A couple hundred thousand people died as a result of the bomb and radiation but again the estimates for the invasion were even worse. The dropping of the Atomic bomb, cruel as it may have been, was absolutely necessary.…

    In recent years, many businesses have faced an increasingly uncertain future. As a result, there is an "economic imperative" to gain advantage over their competitors (Bakos & Treacy, 1986). A competitive advantage is attained when "a firm reaches its comparative efficiency or bargaining power (Bakos and Treacy, 1986). There has been a need for the introduction of information systems into many businesses due to human limitations, with bounded rationality concerning the "memory, computation and communication" capacities of an individual (Bakos & Treacy, 1986). There is limit to which individuals are able to solve problems without the use of information systems. In order to shift the boundaries of rationality, information system must be implemented to aid "memory, computation and communication" (Bakos & Treacy, 1986). Information systems designed to gain competitive advantage are defined as "information systems that drive or formulate the organisation's competitive strategy in order to provide it with (or to maintain) a competitive advantage" (Wiseman, 1985). Wiseman (1988) also stated that companies should pursue short, medium and long-term investment in information systems, which display sustainability. He claimed their success could be measured in number of new clients, increase in market share and general return on the original investment. Some might argue that the continuous exponential improvement in technology would render long-term investment in it impossible. However, most of these 'new advances' will not overly benefit all companies in all markets. The importance of a well- implemented information system is very real. Clemons and Kimbrough (1986) believed that "recent attention given to the strategic use of information systems or the priority placed on finding opportunities is not overstressed". In order…
