These decisions are increasingly complex, which demands more rapid and precise information to allow efficient decision-making. It is in this scenario that Information Systems (IS) have gained importance in the decision-making process. Yet, many of these IS may not be adequate to the manager’s needs.

Results of this study will enable professionals responsible for developing ISs, as well as managers and those working with these systems to identify strengths and weaknesses of existing systems. |
