| Abstract: | When should a manager invest in new technology? This paper provides
guidelines for deciding when to invest in microcomputers. The authors
argue that the technology and marketplace of micros today fits the
conditions of the declining cost paradox observed by Eden and Ronen
(1988). Under these conditions, a decision to defer purchasing equipment
until the future to take advantage of hardware price decreases may lead
to higher overall costs. The paper concludes with recommendations for
the manager confronted with the decision of when to purchase
microcomputer technology. |
