We recommend that providing the customer with merchandise which is
always available as advertised, so, the company has to make a decision and
formulate action plan to solve organization problem. Also we recommend
thinking a great plan in overall system so that the company will take a thrifty
way for it. Information system must always good performance.
Recommending of great system analyst so that he/she always suggest the
update, plan and design on the system. All system that are using must always
working good. ShopKo executives need to learn more about Management of
Change so they can manage any future acquisitions better.
