CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The
traditional management as well as organizational behaviour and operation
research theories agrees that the organization provides the system and decision
centers for decision-making.
Information
as a data has been transformed through some process either (mechanical,
electronic, mathematical or human) into an information system, with the view of
achieving a good.
Information system in many
organizations has various definitions due to several discipline, but in this
research work, information system is defined as it relates for a small business
enterprise. It all involves the flow of
data within the organization for effective decision making. The neglect of a business enterprise
information system due to economic constraints poses a lot of problem. Business enterprise information system
comprises of sub-system which includes purchase system, management a well as
planning system.
Furthermore, business enterprise of
information is categorized into business and policy. The budgets and capital investment analysis
are financial information whereas information generated from processing of
transaction data are of accounting.
1.1 BACKGROUND
In the early days, before the advert
of the Europeans, the people in Nigeria were engaged in various kinds of
occupations which were greatly determined by factors such as geographical
location, nature of the land and the cultural background of the community.
People living along the reverine area
engaged in fishing and net making, others hunted, made clothes and built
different kinds of shelters, while people with vast areas of arable land farmed
and produced both food and cash crops. Still others engaged in creative
activities such as carving, metal work and black smiting. People specialized in their various areas of
endeavours and exchanged their products with one another. Trading them was by barter
whereby goods were exchanged with goods.
For example, a farmer gives a shoemaker twenty tubers of yarm for one
pair of shoes, a fat goat for a pair of trousers, this was called barter
system. It had a lot of inherent
problems.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The objectives of the project work
cannot be over emphasized. Objectives of an enterprise information ranges from
management planning and control which involves operation of all levels of
administrator in an organization. It also aims at improving transaction
processing cycle, its objectives tends in achieving a standard financial
information such as budgeting system an annual report.
1.2.1 PURPOSE OF STUDY
This researcher aims at making basis
for setting prices or for choosing which capital assets to purchase. Another purpose of this study is to design a
small business enterprise information system that determine the information
management requirements and must respond quickly to change on those requirements.
1.3 JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROJECT
It justifies us for creating
employment opportunities, they offer different apprenticeship training to the
unemployed. Because of the diversity, it
promotes economic growth and development, it reduces the waste in the society
by using scraps from big firms. It
supplies the masses with the needed goods and service, it also encourages self
empowerment. The OPEC has really helped
in the business enterprises of this nation by making sure that Nigeria has full
control of her oil resources. There is increase
in commercial activities among member states due to remove of restriction to
free trade.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This project study tends limit this
research to the financial information of the business. Financial information is
generated directly a by-product of transaction processing. But, this work does not depend solely on
by-product information. This project
tends to considered other factor which are important in the design of effective
financial information thereby producing a proper business enterprise
information system for implementation.
1.5 METHODOLOGY
Methodology as the word goes the
procedure of research and is perhaps the truth of the research report. It is also defined as an operational
framework within which the facts are placed so that their meaning may be seen
more clearly.
There are
three types of survey methods namely:
1.
Historical method
2.
The descriptive method
3.
The analytic method
Based
on this project the method used is the descriptive survey method where all data
were simply observed by the researcher.
