Executive Information Systems: Development and Communication Issues

Kamlesh Mehta ; Janet F. Laribee Eastern Illinois University

Abstract

This article discusses two communication issues associated with the development of an Executive Information System. The first issue examines the natural communication between systems designers and the executive end-user. The second issue addresses the human-computer interaction between the computer and the executive. Top executives constitute a unique group of end-users, and systems designers should exercise a wide range of skills in the process of identifying needs and presenting information to them.
