               CHAPTER 9 – INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND E-BUSINESS


               9.1  SSN is a charity which lobbies governments over animal rights. The charity has
                     a detailed management information system that helps the charity co-ordinate its
                     lobbying activities, social media campaigns and fundraising activities. The
                     system also helps SSN control its finances on an ongoing basis.

                     SSN’s CEO has suggested that the system could soon be further improved to
                     actively scan SSN’s environment to help identify potential issues for the charity
                     to campaign about.

                     How would SSN’s information system be classified in the McFarlan grid?
