Diagnosing how managers’ information needs are met reveals a dramatic shift in demand for computer systems.
This book analyzes the current installed base, what managers actually use, and how well these systems serve important managerial tasks. It also explains how hidden demand and capacity gaps shape the future of information systems in organizations.
The study surveys managers across several industries to classify their systems into four types—monitor, exception, inquiry, and analysis—and to assess how well each type matches managerial needs. It highlights a surprising misalignment: most current systems are transaction‑oriented, while many important tasks would benefit from more flexible inquiry and analysis tools. The findings point to a necessary change in how I/S departments plan, prioritize, and develop new systems.- Learn how four system types differ in purpose and use, and why that matters for managers.
- See how the installed base compares with actual usage and managerial needs.
- Discover the concept of invisible backlog and its impact on planning and funding.
- Understand implications for prioritizing projects, training, and aligning I/S with business goals.
