Computer Decisions was a computer industry monthly magazine[1] published in the 1970s[2][3] and 1980s.[4][5]

In 1989 InformationWeek noted the loss to the industry of this and another competitor, Infosystems.[6]

Collectors have described the magazine as being hardware-oriented[7] and management-oriented;[2] one issue ran over 10 pages on "Is there a shortage of computer programmers" in 1980.[8] JSTOR listed them in a bibliography regarding computer ethics.[9]

The magazine's name is included in lists of "published in" such as Columbia University's Graduate Alumni Magazine.[10][11][12]
