Quick overview

Business information systems collect and process the information that supports decision-making in companies.

Key takeaway: Without good data, even the best system will not produce good decisions.

Types of system

  • Transactional – captures the day-to-day business events.
  • Decision support – analysis and scenarios for management.
  • ERP – ties the processes into one data model.

  2. Learn the thinkers

    Flashcards for who said what, and the key term each one is known for.

  4. Practise writing

    Take a practice test with written questions to rehearse the argument.
