Abstract

Buying everyone on staff their own microcomputer usually doesn't make economic sense. While heavy computer users should certainly have their own hardware and software, many financial and managerial computer tasks are cyclical. Once a task like entering the month's expenditures is completed, the computer may not be used again by that particular staff member until the next month. Someone else may then want to analyze those figures and develop a special report. Or, a head of reference may need the machine.
