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). Now, you need to fast-forward to the present. After reading the case, craft your own version of misinformation in management by developing five key incorrect assumptions that management makes about its accounting information systems.
For this assignment, research the Internet or Strayer databases for information related to improper assumptions concerning accounting information systems.

2. 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.
3. 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.
