About this lesson

This lesson covers the three tiers of information use—strategic, tactical, and operational—and explains why different management levels require different types of data to make effective decisions. Understanding this framework is essential for Performance Management and Strategic Business Leader papers, where you'll need to demonstrate how organisations use information systems to support decision-making at all levels. By the end, you'll be able to identify which type of information supports which management function and level, a key skill for case study success.
