Introduction
Report Purpose
The primary objective of the report is to analyze the way Emerson
has utilized Information Systems to improve company performance. For the
purpose of this report we will be focusing on tangible improvements in
performance that can be measured over the past 3-5 years, in order to maintain
relevance. To draw a more definitive causal/effect relationship, we will be
narrowing the scope to one particular Information System process, giving us the
ability to elaborate on the strengths of it and the ways it improved the
company in depth. Furthermore, we will be analyzing weaknesses that we have
identified in the current Information System, as well as provide specific
recommendations that we believe would drive further improvement for Emerson. The
goal of our analysis is to not only highlight the way a specific Information
System interacts within a larger framework such as with Emerson, but to
highlight a conceptual strategy that will enable you to engage in similar
analysis for your own Information Systems.
