Most businesses don't make the most of their management information system, often using MIS only to handle routine transactions like payroll and billing, failing to grasp both the power and limitations of information technology. This book tells managers what they need to know to play an effective role in the deployment and operation of an information system, revealing how they can use these systems to enhance performance at all levels: operational, where the work gets done, as well as tactical and strategic, where policy and planning are shaped. In nontechnical language, with myriad concrete examples, this book shows how an effective MIS can help a firm work smarter--going beyond merely reducing clerical staff to helping management gain an important strategic advantage in the marketplace.
