When defining and understanding a problem that is causing inefficiency, it is important to look at why the problem exists. For example, some problem symptoms may be that processes within the organization have not kept pace with the sales volume causing a backlog on ordering and delivery times. There may be several reasons why these problem symptoms exist. This assignment requires you to further explore the problem you in the previous assignment. It is likely your description included many symptoms but not a true problem definition. Write a paper that addresses the following:
• Define the problem including the scope of the problem. Be careful to state the problem so that a solution can be measured.
• How the problem creates an inefficiency
• Compare and contrast two (2) management information systems and indicate why the management information system would help to create added efficiency within the organization.
• Indicate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two (2) previous management information systems selected including any potential impacts
on other departments.
• Is there a policy or procedural reason why the problem cannot be resolved?
• How would a management information system help resolve the problem?
Support your paper with at least three (3) resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included. Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
