    Sara, the IT Director, observes that a newly installed MIS is not being used as much as expected by middle managers. She develops a theory that knowledge of the MIS's usefulness would increase its use. She creates a questionnaire to test this hypothesis and analyzes the results. Sara concludes that lack of knowledge about the MIS and openness to change prevent some managers from using the system. She plans training seminars to address this.
