This is a survey and review of microcomputer software programs of special interest to managers responsible for, and scholars concerned with, the management of the affairs and the business of nations. It does not review general-purpose software such as wordprocessing packages, spreadsheets and databases, but focuses on specialized and often little-known programs useful in the orderly management and development of nations. Each review explains what the software does, who can benefit from its use, and what the extent and limits of the benefits are. The book covers sector-specific programs as well as multi-sector and global models, and includes chapters of general application to help users derive full benefit from the programs reviewed.
