The Machine Metaphor and Organizations Today The machine metaphor points out the ways that organizations are specialized‚ standardized‚ and predictable.

ABSTRACT Most research in Machine translation is about having the computers completely bear the load of translating one human language into another. This paper looks at the machine translation problem afresh and observes that there is a need to share the load between man and machine‚ distinguish ‘reliable’ knowledge from the ‘heuristics’‚ provide a spectrum of outputs to serve different strata of people‚ and finally make use of existing resources instead of reinventing the wheel. This paper describes
