ABSTRACT
A methodology for introducing microcomputers should be generalized among potential users. The user should become fully acquainted with the computer before purchase, by using "micro clubs" and free access to microcomputers. Managers must be made aware of the value of information and be shown how better use of information can improve the decision-making process. These aspects of management and computers must be integrated into refresher courses organized for present managers and into management courses for today's students. There are virtually no retailers outside the capital of Tunisia, which is a big drawback for users in other towns. Firms offering assistance and maintenance services should be encouraged to open offices in the provinces and not to limit themselves to a single make of computer. There is not a very wide range of "Arabized" products. This is a problem, especially for government departments that work in Arabic. Local industrialists should produce "Arabization kits" for microcomputers in order to fill this vacuum.
