Analysing the Quality of Management Information: A Suggested Framework

Abstract

Observes that information is becoming the most powerful of modern business tools and, as companies internationalize, managers are going to be faced with more to handle. Discusses Senn′s properties of information and presents an analytical tool for managers to use when presented with new, or old untested, data sources. The simple framework is designed to allow managers to highlight problems with data sources quickly and consistently, to take corrective action or to make decisions with more awareness of the limitations of the data.
