A comparison of business school computer usage in Europe and North America

Building upon the successful series of studies of business school computing usage in North America conducted by UCLA, this paper reports on a parallel study on computer usage in European business schools conducted by the Copenhagen Business School in 1987. Although there are a number of differences between the two samples, there are also many similarities. In fact, the overwhelming conclusion is that computer usage on the two continents has now reached parity, with both facing the common problem of attempting to improve the computing resources available to the least fortunate schools while at the same time solidifying the progress made at the top schools.
