Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jane's goal is to provide useful information for managerial activities and increase managerial efficiency. This indicates a need for a management information system (MIS), which is designed to provide information to support managerial decision-making. A neural system (A) is not relevant to the needs of a magazine publishing business. A transaction processing system (C) is used for recording routine transactions such as sales and payments, but does not provide information for managerial decision-making. An expert system (D) is designed to provide advice or recommendations based on a specific set of rules or knowledge base, and may not be the best fit for Jane's needs.
