The website for this book contains an adaptation of Russell L. Ackoff’s classic article “Management Misinformation Systems” from Management Science. In the article, Ackoff identified five common assumptions about information systems and then explained why he disagreed with them.

Required

Read the five assumptions, contentions, and Ackoff’s explanations. For each of the five assumptions, decide whether you agree or disagree with Ackoff’s contentions. Prepare a report in which you defend your stand and explain your defense.
