Question

Name a business that you believe has experienced declining costs attributable to computerization.

Answer 1

Solution The University of Cape Coast, one of the public universitiesin Ghana is one institution that has experienced declining cost which is attributable to computerization. The university needed to make more print-outs in order to send an important information to both staff and student body. A printing fee of GHS 0.20 was incurred for each sheet that was printed. A school having more than 140 departments, over 26,000 students, and over 1,500 teaching staffs, the university incurred a higher cost in sending memo to all these people. After considering the cost involved, the university purchased Electronic Sign Board which was used to display all important messages to be read by all stakeholder of the institution. This has avoided the printing cost which was usually incurred. The electronic Sign Board is being managed by computer operated by administration.
