Abstract

Less than a decade ago, local area networks (LANs) hardly existed. Today, they account for a burgeoning multimillion dollar market that promises to change the way organizations manage information. This phenomenal growth is a result of new technologies as well as institutional needs to efficiently interconnect expanding numbers of personal computers and peripheral hardware. Local area networks have grown in importance as computing services in organizations have become less and less centralized. They can be used to special advantage in situations where individuals need access to the highly specialized data of other users on an irregular and low‐demand basis.
