Planning for MIS: A Decision-Oriented Approach

John C. Henderson; J. M. West

Abstract

The concept of using critical decisions as a basis for defining Information needs has been suggested by several authors. This article reports on results of a decision-oriented approach to planning for MIS. A structured group process is used to generate both critical decisions and Information needs for a manufacturing firm. Results indicate that the decision approach is effective, particularly for organizational units that are line oriented.
