dc.description.abstract | This paper evaluates some of the selection criteria of a small business computer cited in current literature and expressed by several small businessmen. The first part of the paper discusses the small businessman's and the computer salesman's point of view concerning the selection of a small business computer. The second part of the paper discusses four selection criteria in detail and then mentions six more. This paper does not, by any means, completely cover this topic because, with all of the differing opinions on which criteria is the most important and the many different types of small businesses that the small business computer must be configured to, it would take volumes of papers to completely cover this topic. However, by discussing the process of comparing three specific systems, as is done in this paper, the small businessman can get a concrete idea of how to select his own small business computer. | en |
