Abstract

This study examines managerial views on management information systems in strategic planning process. A survey conducted with top managers revealed that most managers are using MIS in the development and implementation of corporate strategies. The findings also show that the use of MIS in strategic planning does not differentiate significantly according to type of industry, size of company budget, or the company’s MIS budget allocation. Furthermore, problems associated with use of MIS are discussed, and suggestions are made to narrow the gap between MIS developers and users.
