ABSTRACT
This study is an attempt to provide the management of the National University Teleconference Network (NUTN) with effective decision rules for its program planning and development. A simulation model based on SLAM is developed for accomplishing this task. Both qualitative and quantitative data are used in the development of this model. The decision rules are based on two priority rules such as the highest priority be given for executing an activity pertinent to a program on a First Come First Served (FCFS) basis with and without preemption. The results obtained from the simulation model have been found to be in close agreement with the actual operations. Interestingly enough, the fact that the product under consideration is information itself makes this study unique from other conventional project management studies commonly found in the literature.

National Development Planning Revisited
We argue that the principal obstructions to national development of less-than-well-developed countries are cultural, not economic or technological. Furthermore, such countries tend to mistake activity for change, and self-imposed constraints for ones ...
