How does knowledge of Information Systems (IS) benefit business managers in decision-making?

Introduction: Managerial decision making is always viewed as a daunting task, especially when a decision can make or break an organization. The incorporation of technology in decision making has certain added value by minimizing guess work in decision making. In this era, technology and managerial decisions are becoming more inseparable due to reliability on the use of computer systems to collect appropriate data.
