Assignment Information Needs for the AIS
In 1967, Russell Ackoff presented a classical analysis of misinformation in management (Ackoff's Management Misinformation Systems, Case 1-1, pg. 21 of the text).

Write a five to seven page paper in which you:
• Based on your research, assess how corporate leaders may make improper assumptions related to accounting information systems and the related information. Indicate the most negative potential impacts on business operations related to these assumptions. Provide support for your rationale.
• Suggest three to four ways in which organizational performance may be improved when information is properly managed within a business system. Provide support for your rationale.
• Evaluate the level of system security (i.e., high, medium, low) needed to ensure information integrity within automated business systems. Provide support for your evaluation.
