Small Systems for Small Businesses

Abstract

The decision to install a small business computer is generally taken by small companies when all traditional manual methods have failed. At this point in a company's history, two options are available. Either the company can employ more staff to process the paperwork, or they can install a microcomputer to automate their accounting routines. The total costs of installing such a system is often less than that of employing an extra staff member for a year and this is probably one of the reasons why such systems are still regarded as a threat to employment by many company staff members.
