Task 35. Having read the material of the unit, how would you answer the questions:
· What are the companies' main techniques for controlling?
· What are the pros and cons of feedforward control?
· What approach to people should a good manager have?
| A: | Good morning. My name is Taras Petrenko. I am the 1st year student. I am interested in management. |
| B: | What, in particular, are you interested in? |
| I have got the task to find information about Management Information Systems? Could you suggest anything? | |
| A: | Some time ago I read that Management Information System is a formal system of gathering, integrating, comparing, analysing and dispersing information internal and external to the enterprise in a timely, effective and efficient manner. |
| B: | Yes, you are right. The systems model of management shows that communication is needed for carrying out the managerial functions and for linking the organisation with its external environment. The management information system provides the communication link that makes managing possible. |
| A: | They say that the management information system has to be tailored to specific needs and may include routine information, such as monthly reports; information that points out exceptions, especially at critical points; and information necessary to predict the future. |
| B: | Are there any guidelines for designing a management information system? |
| A: | I am not sure. But you can take this book to the reading room and try to find the answers to all your questions. |
| B: | Thank you very much for help. This is my card. |
| A: | You can take the seat near the window, please. |
