WORKING PAPER VERSION EIS evolution in Large Spanish Businesses

In a competitive and hostile environment such as the current one, it is no longer enough for the managers to make the right choices, but they must also make and implement them as quickly as possible. For this reason, they need several tools to provide them with information. These tools are called Executive Information Systems (EIS). Comparisons of EIS developed in several countries provide insights that can be used by companies when developing systems for global markets. This paper portrays the current situation of EIS in large Spanish businesses and some interesting elements in the evolution of Spanish EIS. To do this, the author surveyed the three leading Spanish companies in each industry.
