Abstract
In the past six years, U.S. business schools have greatly expanded their use of computers in teaching and research. In 1966, only 11 percent of the business schools required student proficiency in programming; by 1970, the total had risen to 62 percent and is undoubtedly higher today. In 1971, the Graduate School of Business (GSB) at Stanford acquired a dedicated time-sharing system to replace the time-sharing services provided by the Stanford Computation Center (SCC). A study of computer usage in the GSB and of the impact of the dedicated time-sharing system was con- ducted; detailed results may be found in. Our purpose is to present the most interesting and pertinent findings of that study.
