The corporation is nicknamed as “Big Blue” since it is both an IT consultant and a multinational computer technology. The headquarters of the industry is located in Armonk, New York.

Most of the target customers whose ages range from 18-45 years. The reason is that the younger adults are more affected by technology hence they require the use of computers and software in their life. Most probably, the men form a higher percentage of customers as compared to females. For example, Walmart and Levementum Limited Liability Company. I am also facing competition from other corporations that have already implemented the MIS project plan. To handle the level of competition in the environment, I will use appropriate plans such as the Five Forces Analysis to enhance effective implementation of the project.

The first one is determining the threat which is introduced by any new entrant into the firm.

This will be done by tracking the flow of cash using the payable and receivable accounts. This will lead to a greater loss in the company (Laudon, & Laudon,2016). Implications The introduction of Management Information system in the industry will be associated with several implications.

For example, the department of recording data will improve since employees will be using computers that will have been installed the system. As a result, there will be no delay in the processing of financial records as well as in the overall operations of the company. This means that all the huge sums of money that were used in purchasing of unnecessary resources will be lowered. For example, the cost of purchasing papers will be reduced since there will not be further use of papers. Consequently, paperwork in the industry will be reduced. Similarly, the cost of production in the industry will be lowered since only little amount will be spent in the production process. As asserted by Laudon, & Laudon (2016), the cost benefits of the plan will have a great impact on the customer satisfaction, initial investment, customer retention and acquisition, implementation, training, revenue, variable and the fixed cost.
