Abstract

In the present condition of intense global competition, the survival of a firm becomes the underlying issue. How to regain competitive advantage and promote synergism is the greatest concern for entrepreneurs who have lost many of their market opportunities. Introduces a procedure for practitioners to follow in establishing effective management systems, which aims to make a fundamental change and continual improvement in managerial and operational structures. Claims that an expandable nerve‐type management information network of the company as a whole can be built systematically by following this procedure. This procedure is essentially a combined technique that guides practitioners through the processes of system development planning and decision making, potential problem analysis, correction, integration, and control. Demonstrates, by means of case examples and the results of a survey, that it can be concluded that the use of the combined technique is beneficial for the promotion of system performance.
