Abstract

Develops a classification of executive information systems. (EIS). EIS implementations cluster into four distinct groups, called the 4 Cs: Conglomerate; control and monitoring; competitive and intelligence; communication and efficiency. Explores the characteristics of the classes within this taxonomy. Argues, among other things, that the objective use of EIS can be considered as a strategic management aid to top management teams.
