It is good to note that managers at strategic level get information from the lower levels of the pyramid (operational and managerial) for monitoring how the business is doing.
When using that information, they measure if the business is going as planned. If not, they make decisions to control the path the business will take.
The information in the information systems helps the managers in strategic level to reach decisions that can give a business a new face or improve its efficiency if its performance is going on well.
For example, senior managers can pull reports from the system of each outlet or regional block and find trends and patterns; data mining, in it in order to make great decisions.
