Developing Managerial Information Systems

The authors point out that the use of the possibilities and advantages of quantitatively supported managerial decisions gives managers the ability to quantify the impacts of both technical (hard) and subjective (soft) constraints and improve managerial decision-making processes that would otherwise be based mostly on personal intuition and experience.

This book focuses on an integrated approach in developing a model to guide the design of effective managerial costing systems. While the focus is on the manufacturing industry, information in the book will be useful to other industries as well. To achieve this, the book utilizes the action design research methodology founded within a design science paradigm, which aims to develop pragmatic solutions to an actually experienced business problem or class of business problems. After which, the book then explains the elaborated action design research process, which is a researcher-practitioner approach to designing pragmatic, industry-experienced problems in an academically sound manner.

This book draws on the author’s own experience as a practitioner, collaborations with professionals from small and medium-sized businesses with international scope in North Macedonia and Belgium, and academic research. Its goal is to bring together tactical management and information systems research in complex environments. By developing the “DENICA” managerial method it re-introduces tactics as an important managerial function and underestimated source of competitive advantage.
