Which decision type is best supported by MIS reports generated from routine, well-defined rules, such as automatically approving a purchase order when the stock is below reorder level and the vendor is approved?

This is a structured decision. It is routine and repetitive and follows predefined rules, so an MIS can make or recommend it automatically. Unstructured or semi-structured decisions need managerial judgement and are not fully rule-driven.

  4. DJudgemental decision on mergers
