Useful Information
Quality, Timeliness, completeness, and relevance determine the usefulness of information to a manager. Quality refers to the accuracy and reliability of the information. Information that is timely is available when the manager needs it. Information that is complete gives managers all the information they need to exercise control, achieve coordination, or make an effective decision. Lastly, useful information is always relevant.
This picture of the headline scroll outside of the Chicago ABC news station demonstrates useful information. The scroll lights up, runs 24 hours and is read by many pedestrians. Its information is relevant because it scrolls the local news headlines. These headlines are high quality and reliable because they come from credited sources. The ABC headline scroll is extremely timely because it runs on a real-time information system and it reflects the current conditions.
