Abstract

Advances the idea that many companies are trying not to hire permanent employees, but instead are hiring temporary workers to reduce costs. By having temporary workers, however, new risks are assumed in terms of facility management.

The new computer line, dubbed the Personal Systems 30, 50, 60, and 80, seems destined to replace the XT and AT models that are the mainstay of the firm's current personal computer offerings.
