a) Computers are costly, if it is more efficient and effective to carry out the processing tasks without employing the use of computers, then computerization is needless. Computer prices have gone down tremendously, however, but they are still out of reach for many poor people
b) Due to rapid change in the computer technology, the computer and related facilities can become outdated very fast, hence posing a risk of capital loss.
c) Changing from the old system, the manual system, to a computerized system is a gradual process during which there is interruption in the normal working environment.
There is usually the fear that installing the computer into an organization might result in replacing some human employees.
In case the computer system fails, it might be extremely difficult to revert back to the old manual system. For this reason, stand by procedures are necessary, but expensive.
Controlling a computer file's contents is a difficult exercise due to the fact that the contents of files of computer based systems are none-human sensible. There is further fear that such contents may suffer from fraudulent acts by the people who know them.
Manual systems, though slow, are more flexible as compared to the computerized systems.
Employees may resist the adoption of computers by organizations in which they work
