Abstract

This article presents the results of an extensive study of the current use of computer programs in MS curricula. Reporting the findings for 109 business schools, the authors rank the availability, use, and importance of 14 commonly used “canned” MS programs. We conclude that faculty interest in a package of MS computer programs analogous to SPSS is very high. However, current use of most programs, especially in larger business schools and doctoral programs, is not widespread. The study provides an overview of the state of the art in today's computer linkage with Management Science, and the computer hardware currently in use in US business schools.
