ABSTRACT

Companies like FedEx, UPS, and DHL rely extensively on strong support systems to assure the nationwide and worldwide handling of millions of packages on a daily basis. In the information age, it seems only right that companies have the appropriate information systems in place to enable them to track strategic success. The key to good information systems aimed at data collection is to look to simpler tools and create user-friendly systems. Knowledge management means making sure that management keeps track of what has been done in the past as well as what information is available now. In every aspect of strategic management a company must rely on the availability of information. The governance code's core aim is to make the German Corporate Governance system transparent. Corporate governance controls are a necessity in today's business environment. Implementation controls are mechanisms put into place to assure that the strategy is on target.
