Note: A Microcomputer Revolution in the School of Business

The five-year-old microcomputer revolution is changing the way business school professors, and especially management scientists, are doing business. The revolution has affected course outlines, classroom cases, and homework assignments and is affecting entire curricula in statistics, data processing, management sciences, and operations management. Likewise affected are finance, business policy, marketing, and accounting curricula. It may very well be that the microcomputer revolution will have even more impact on schools of business than the 1959 report by the Ford Foundation which criticized the overall approach taken in early business education.
