Computing in Organizations, 1985-1992

这项研究开发和分析了具有代表性的大纽约私营部门公司在使用计算机方面的变化的比较数据。回到阿特维尔和鲁尔在20世纪80年代末S研究的样本，拟议的研究将记录最初184个机构在计算使用和其他基本特征方面的变化。我们将尽可能多地与这些机构进行详细的电话访问，并将在大约50个次样本中进行现场访问。由此产生的分析应该阐明在大约七年的时间里计算活动变化的形式和程度，以及这种变化的决定因素。

This study develops and analyzes comparative data on change in the uses of computing by a representative selection of greater New York private sector firms. Returning to the sample studied by Attewell and Rule in the late 1980's, the proposed research will document changes in computing use and in other basic features of the original 184 establishments. Detailed telephone interviews will be carried out with as many of these establishments as possible, and site interviews will take place in a sub-sample of about fifty. Resulting analyses should illuminate the form and extent of change in computing activities over roughly seven intervening years, as well as the determinants of such change.
