John T. Diebold (June 8, 1926 – December 26, 2005). An American businessman who was a pioneer in the field of automation, founding The Diebold Group, Inc. to advise corporations around the world as well as governments in the U.S and abroad in the potential of information technology. ==Early life== Diebold was born in Weehawken, New Jersey.〔Bayot, Jennifer. ("John Diebold, 79, a Visionary of the Computer Age, Dies" ), ''The New York Times'', December 27, 2005. Accessed April 16, 2008.〕 He was graduated with a B.S. in Engineering with the academic award from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in 1946, following wartime service in the merchant marine. He received a BA with high honors in economics from Swarthmore College in 1949, and an MBA with distinction from the Harvard Business School in 1951. When studying at the Harvard Business School he accepted the least popular job in his class of 600 in order to work for a low-paying consulting firm, which he later acquired. After graduation, he formed his own company, at first working out of the house where he was born in Weehawken, New Jersey. Although he was only 26 when he wrote his first book, ''Automation'', published by Van Nostrand in 1952 based on his studies at the Harvard Business School, independent research and ever-persistent curiosity about the whole field of technology, he originated many of the concepts of data processing and utilization that are accepted today in both automation and management. This book was reissued unchanged on its 30th anniversary as a “management classic” by the American Management Association. He is credited with coining the word automation in its present meaning, and had much to do with introducing it to general usage.
