Top management transformed as EIS arrives

Article Abstract:

Executive information systems (EISs) enable business executives with little or no prior computer or keyboard knowledge to access both internal and external information formatted for management decision making. EISs employ automated communications and interrogation programs to collect summary data from a user's company database. Any EIS must address two dynamic issues: how to update existing data, and how to incorporate organizational changes into the updating process.
