Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book is an enlightening treatise on the evolution of managers' information needs and the changing dynamics between user managers and information systems (I/S) departments. The book explores how managers' needs have shifted away from data processing to decision support, and how I/S departments have struggled to keep pace. The author analyzes the mix of installed systems, frequently used systems, and desired systems, revealing a significant gap between what managers have and what they need. The book emphasizes the importance of shifting I/S priorities to address this gap, outlining the challenges and opportunities in meeting the growing demand for inquiry and analysis systems. The author concludes that recognizing and responding to the demand for managerial support systems is crucial for I/S departments to remain relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of modern businesses. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

In general, this assumption is not valid.2 To the limited extent that it is valid, transaction processors do provide some relevant information to higher level managers.
