Abstract

Executive information systems (EIS) have played a large role as computer-based information systems in organizations. While a large number of firms have already developed and use an EIS effectively, some firms are reluctant to build one for lack of appropriate and well-organized guidelines on how to achieve their EIS project. This paper is concerned with EIS development guidelines based on literature, experience and judgments as a result of meeting with EIS builders. It explores the following areas: definitions, capabilities, major benefits, EIS limitations, EIS failure, development frameworks, barriers to building an EIS, and points to be considered when planning an EIS project. An eight-stage development process described in this paper provides EIS builders with a helpful EIS development standard.
