MB0047- MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
1 Professor A. Van Cauwenbergh of Antwerp University, in a paper presented at the Tenth
Anniversary Conference of the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management,
presented four revisions to traditional Management Theory. In summary, the revisions are:
(1) The initiative for the renewal and adjustment of the activities of a firm should come from
the different levels in the management hierarchy. “Strategy is not a privilege of top
management”.
(2) Firms, especially big firms, are incoherent systems (goals of the different component
systems are not simply subdivisions of an overall goal; there are individual, conflicting goals
as well).
Some of these differences are manifestations of organizational initiative and vitality. Using
information systems and central planning and rule-making to suppress all differences is
destructive to organizations.
(3) The most vital “fluid” of an enterprise is the aggregate of its entrepreneurial values. The
most fundamental and motivation and control come through these shared values relative to

4. WWW.SMUSOLVEDASSIGNMENTS.COM
work, quality, efficiency, etc. Management often neglects these values and assumes that the
collection and dissemination of information will provide sufficient motivation and control.
(4) Enterprises are open systems; their structure and operating processes are determined by
their environment. This means organizations must be designed to continually adjust to the
environment.
