An Experience in the Design of a Management Information System for a Bank
本文报告了一家银行管理信息系统的设计与实施，关键问题既非计算机也非行为，而是决策与数据，强调分析决策系统、采用渐进式设计、精简数据格式并运用管理科学技术。
In designing management information systems (M.I.S.), organizations tend to concentrate on computer-related issues, whereas research in M.I.S. has a behavioural tradition. This paper reports on the design and implementation of an M.I.S. for a bank, in which the key issues were to do with neither computers nor behaviour. The key issues concerned decisions and data. It was found to be important to analyse the decision-making system, to adopt an evolutionary approach to design, to reduce the data to manageable proportions, to format the data and to refine the data by use of techniques of management science.
