    2. Describe the factors influencing an information system within an organisation: organisation and functions of management methods for planning and decision-making, legal and audit requirement, general organisation structure, responsibility for the information system within an organisation, information flow, hardware and software, standards and behavioral factors, e.g. personalities, motivation, ability to adapt to change. Objectives

    3. Objectives Information Flow: Describe the methods and mechanisms of information flow within an organisation, both formal and informal, and the constraints imposed upon that flow by organisational structures. Personnel: Understand the levels of task/personnel within an organisation: strategic; implementation; operational. Relate the needs of these three levels to the information system.

    4. Corporate Plan Businesses may have a corporate plan on how to implement the corporate strategy. They will also have an information system strategy (IT strategy). The IT strategy is concerned with the planning, introduction and use of IT resources for the benefit of the organisation. It is closely linked with other strategies.

    5. Factors that Influence Management organisation and functions. Planning and decision-making methods. General organisational structure. Responsibility for Information Systems within an organisation. Hardware and Software. Standards. Behavioural factors. The efficiency of information flows.

    6. Management Organisation & Functions Organisation and implementation means getting things done. Decisions from higher in the organisation are implemented by the managers, and the tasks organised in such a way to make it possible. Strategic planning involves the direction of the organisation, while tactical planning involves medium to short term objectives. Controlling and reviewing involves the manager of a particular department looking at the performance to ensure that targets are being achieved.

    7. Responsibility for Information Systems within an organisation Done by the IT department, best done by coordination throughout the organisation than by individual management responsibility areas. Networked centrally held data is the most efficient system. Individual managers who set up their own systems within the organisation may be compromising data security, and the data protection act. They will probably duplicate much of the data held centrally making it an inefficient system.

    8. Organisational Structure Hierarchical structure in most organisations, meaning the communication of data must be up and down the different levels.
