Activity 2

In the second section of the report you must use an actual management information system in an organisation. The information from this case study will help Mr Patel understand management information systems in practice.

Choose a business to research and recommend improvements to the management information system. You will need to carry out comprehensive research, so you must know this business well and have access to the relevant information. The research must enable you to:

• analyse how the business uses its management information system to improve performance
• evaluate the effectiveness of this system
• make recommendations to improve the current system.

Finally on the basis of this research, you must include a plan to further develop the system
