In a pyramid-structure view of MIS in a large organisation, which level typically uses summarised, exception-based and forecast information for long-term strategic decisions?

The strategic or top management level uses summarised, exception-based and forecast information, including external data, for long-term decisions. Operational and clerical levels work with detailed, routine transaction data, and cable maintenance is not a decision level.

  4. DTechnical level, maintaining cables
