Abstract

The past several years have witnessed major stages in the evolution of time sharing service suppliers toward the (perhaps) ultimate establishment of a computer utility or utilities that will, presumably, resemble other public utilities in many ways. This paper is concerned with the development of managerial accounting techniques that will enable suppliers to broaden their range of services and allow some of them to evolve into vertically integrated information service organizations.
