Information Appropriateness
Strategic planning
decision makers need information that focuses on
the relationship of the organization to its external environment,
emphasizes the future, is
wide in scope
and presents a broad view.
The appropriate information for this type of decision is generally
not
completely current
but tends to be more historical in nature.
Information does not need to be completely accurate as strategic
decision tend to be
subjective
focusing on areas that are difficult to
measure (such as customer satisfaction).
Information appropriate for making
operational control
decisions has
dramatically different characteristics from Strategic Planning.
Focuses on
internal organization
, emphasizes performance
history of the team and is well defined, narrow in scope and
detailed
. Appropriate information for this type of decision is both
extremely current and extremely accurate.
Information appropriate for making
management control
generally has
characteristics that fall somewhere between the above two.
