โฆ Synopsis
Having set up the first microcomputer laboratory in China, the authors provided 178 Chinese professionals with coursework, lectures, and workshops designed to increase their understanding of the potential for using microcomputers in their organizations.
This paper assesses the impact of those educational experiences on the Chinese students' perceptions of how they could apply the PC to their organizations, what uses they would make of a PC, what services a PC would require, and how soon they expected to be using (to adopt) a PC. Analysis of appropriate data takes into account such factors as differences in the content of the educational experiences and differences in the amount of time the students spent actually using the PCs. Analysis indicates that the educational experiences did significantly increase the Chinese students' perceptions of possible applications and uses of PCs in their organizations and provides evidence that similar educational experiences could be most effective in introducing microcomputer technology in countries such as China.
