1.1. Introduction

Business in modern times is developing through specific aspects. A strategic management

records system (SMIS) is a crucial factor of an organization's strategic planning and
decision-making process. It integrates records from a variety of sources and gives executives and
managers with accurate, timely, and relevant facts for tremendous decision-making. The
successful development and implementation of an SMIS can be challenging due to numerous
barriers. These limitations can avert the system's effectiveness and affect the organization's
capacity to acquire its strategic objectives. A good sized barrier of this ,is the availability and
exceptional of data. An SMIS relies closely on correct and dependable facts to generate
meaningful insights and aid decision-making. However the successful improvement of a strategic
management records machine can face various barriers. These limitations consist of the
complexity of integrating data sources, availability and great of data, organizational culture and
resistance to change, lack of strategic alignment, and resource constraints. Overcoming these
obstacles requires a combination of technical expertise, organizational exchange management,
and a strategic method to make sure that the SMIS successfully helps the organization's
decision-making processes and strategic objectives.

1.1.1 : Strategic Management Information System:

A strategic management information system (SMIS) is a computer-based machine that integrates

facts from various sources inside an enterprise to guide strategic planning, decision-making, and
performance monitoring. It presents equipment and data for aligning resources, placing goals,
measuring performance, and making informed selections to reap strategic objectives. SMIS helps
companies analyze data, forecast trends, check risks, and collaborate effectively, enabling them
to adapt and compete in dynamic markets.

1.1.2 :Barriers to successful Development :

Some common boundaries to the successful improvement of a strategic administration records

machine (SMIS) consist of complexity in integrating multiple data sources, poor statistics
quality, resistance to change from employees, lack of strategic alignment with organizational
goals, aid constraints, low consumer adoption and training, organizational silos, and safety and
privacy concerns. Overcoming these limitations is indispensable for the advantageous
implementation and utilization of an SMIS.

Literature review

An administration information machine is used for both public and personal organizations. A
Strategic management facts system (SMIS) is a machine that aids managers in making selections
to address problems that exist in both public and private organizations. By using SMIS,
executives may also make wise decisions in terms of being capable of restoring current troubles
whilst stopping the improvement of new troubles that can jeopardize an organization's life. The
presence of computer applied sciences has made a predominant recommended contribution to the
management facts system, and SMIS is also very necessary for representatives of a company or
organization to make accountable choices (Meiryani & RA Aryanti Wardaya Puspokusumo,
2020; Oudat & Ali, 2021; Oudat et al., 2021). In evaluation to prior recognition, modern-day
organizations face excellent big risks as a result of globalization due to altering technological
growth. Managing these threats was now not a top priority for economic firms. As a result, many
companies see monetary dangers as a most important challenge. According to a recent Ampofo
(2020) paper, the study analyzed the record retaining process in order to elucidate the strategic
MIS troubles at the UDS-Wa Campus. A vacuum remains to be stuffed due to a lack of literature
in this field. The learn about is qualitative in nature, and forty (40) respondents had been chosen
by means of a purposive sampling process. The faculty consisted of six (6) administrative team
of workers members, fourteen (14) senior and junior lecturers, and twenty (20) pupil delegates.
According to the findings of the report, administrators, lecturers, and college students were
unable to operate ordinary reviews of the Management Information System through the usage of
the correct identification numbers and passwords. Furthermore, the find out observed that the
domestic page and archive of UDS's Management Information System (Wa campus) have been
still highly slow and compromised. Furthermore, the find out that UDS (Wa-campus) does not
have a student management records system manager and instead depends on the supervisor at
central administration in Tamale. Furthermore, they discovered that the Management
Information System at UDS (Wa campus) is managed with the aid of much less professionals
than at other public universities in the country. According to the report, UDS (Wa campus)
management can hire data and verbal exchange science professionals with expertise in
administration facts systems (MIS) and laptop engineering to ensure that the management facts
device at UDS (Wa campus) works properly. Alshamsi et al. (2019) confused the magnitude of
appreciation of the concepts of (IS), (IT), and strategic administration data gadget (SMIS), as
properly as the want for SMIS, implementation problems related with SMIS, and comparable
models. As a result, this article gives a comprehensive framework for evaluating the success and
troubles of the Ministry of Interior's strategic management records system. Without a question,
as a result of the advancement of digital technology, corporations depend heavily on facts
systems these days. While public corporations have to adhere to policy in order to attain
 Pag -

their objectives, in the long run, they face a slew of challenges that jeopardize mission
accomplishment or the implementation of successful plans to gain the mission. The UAE is now
making strides toward Vision 2021. Implementing strategic expertise processing is critical to
achieving these goals. According to the report, incorporating a strategic planning gadget does not
assure that an organization will be capable of meeting its strategic desires and objectives. It is

critical to evaluate the strategic planning process and its relationship to other management tactics
inside a company. Via the use of secondary statistics sources, this paper analyzes current
literature and gives a specified understanding of concepts, mechanisms, and models. The
predicted outcomes of the find out would want professionals, academia, researchers, government
departments, and regulators.

Almalki et al. (2017) described the challenges of applying an Information System Strategy in a
Saudi-based market environment in ordinary and in a bank in particular. This lookup examines
the types of problems that can occur in a bank, the use of a case learned about and a survey to
illustrate these difficulties. The survey findings are then analyzed and discussed in the report. It
makes quite a few hints based totally on the comments that might also help in solving these
difficulties. The outcomes definitely point out that administration problems between IT and
enterprise ought to be eliminated if there was once an ideal hyperlink between IT and business.
According to Babaei & Beikzad (2013), contemporary the increase of IT and its most important
impact on the productiveness of public and private companies worldwide, as properly as the
world fashion to use a number of varieties of data systems, inclusive of Management Information
System (MIS), has led Iran to follow suit. This trend was confronted with successes, setbacks,
and roadblocks. An analysis of problems encountered all through the planning process,
implementation, operation, and development of management records structures in a us of a may
additionally be very useful in the decision-making of public and personal zone organizations. In
Iran, the clever implementation of new IT, mainly MIS, will pave the way for boom while
additionally increasing its exceptional and effectiveness

5.2: Conclusion

In several commercial domains, Strategic management information systems (SMIS) is playing a

significant role. However, the obstacles to successful development of a strategic administration
facts system (SMIS) include: Lack of clear strategic goals , Insufficient resources , Resistance to
change , Lack of high-quality and integration , Inadequate consumer coaching and support ,
Technological constraints . And To overcome these barriers, organizations focus on strategic
planning, resource allocation, fostering a subculture of change, prioritizing statistics quality,
offering personal training and support, and ensuring a sturdy technological infrastructure.
Addressing these limitations will increase the possibility of growing and enforcing a successful
strategic MIS, mainly to expand decision-making and organizational performance for the
betterment of our development in business .
