نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes how the predecessors to modern computers, the family of equipment we describe as The Punch Card Machines entered the Danish and Nordic Market and paved the way for the relatively rapid take-off by the Nordic market of the 'real' computers; also the paper spreads light on the competitive situation, the key applications and the heavy influence of public regulations on market development. The paper is developed in conjunction with the studies of the roots of IBM Denmark, founded as a limited company as late as 1950, making use of archives and material hitherto not yet published.
