Assessing the value of information and its effect on the performance of the organization

This research represents a study of the effect of changes in the value of information used in decision making on overall organization performance. The value of information is defined in terms of its attributes or characteristics (accuracy, relevance, reliability, timeliness). The values of information attributes are varied within the framework of a system dynamics simulation model of a manufacturing organization. The parameters which define this model are based on actual financial and operating data from the metal cans and containers industry.
