Management, Operational Research and the Micro: A Critical Review of What is Available

Abstract

This paper reviews the state of the microcomputer market as at January 1981. The authors have been involved in computer systems for many years and began working with microcomputers towards the end of 1978. Since then, they have had experience of nearly 20 varied microcomputer installations. A version of the paper was first given at the two-day seminar. ‘Management, Operational Resarch and the Micro’, held in London during November 1980.
