The analysis of information system in local government unit : the proposal of research methodology

The information system in a local government unit should ensure an adequate flow of information to ensure the efficient and effective management of the unit. All organisations should take care of the quality and quantity of available information. This objective can be achieved by the continuous diagnosis and assessment of the functioning information system to draw meaningful conclusions, to identify actions for its improvement in order to make the system an effective support for managerial processes and adequate tool to the needs of the activity of a local government unit. In the article the authors proposed the research methodology of the analysis of the information system in a local government unit. The proposed research methodology is based on questionnaire surveys, which allows a thorough diagnosis of the information system in local government units to identify the deficit in the tools applied in these units and to identify actions to improve the system.
