Abstract
A survey of 600 colleges in 1984 and again in 1986, indicates that today's business school is also becoming a computer center. Microcomputer labs on campus have grown dramatically, with an 83 percent increase in the average number of installed micros between 1984 and 1986. Another increase of 49 percent is forecast by 1988. The demand for quality software has also grown, with spreadsheet, data-base, and word-processing packages found in over 98 percent of all microlabs. The use of statistical, MS, and project management software is still growing. Managing the new labs has raised major issues in software protection, equipment replacement, and maintenance and control.
