Abstract
Contains a history of the microcomputer software industry from the mid- 1970s through early 1982. During that period growth was explosive. Many new companies were formed. However, the eventual structure of the industry was not yet clear. No truly dominant firms had appeared. The note is intended to provide background information on Lotus Development Corp. That case contains a description of the strategy and financing of a producer of software. The note could also be used as a basis for discussion of the evolution of industries per se.
