Abstract

This paper examines the nexus of Management Information System Implementation and Managerial performance in respect of sustainability related measurement systems in organisational management. From a resource-based perspective of the firm information is viewed as one of the critical intangible resource necessary for organisational survival and growth. This exploratory study used a structured five-point likert scale questionnaire to obtain desired responses from a sample of 45 respondents. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study. The Multiple Regression statistical method formed the basis for the relationship prediction. The findings revealed that MIS implementation has implications for the development of managerial human resource, social and environmental core competencies as revealed by the Coefficient of Determination (R²), as both had predictive powers of 90% and above. Based on this, the study suggests the adoption and implementation of MIS in organisations. This will aid managers develop technique expertise in the areas of human resource, social and environmental competence areas which is directly linked to the survival and growth of the corporation by providing tools for sustainability performance, stakeholder management and competitive advantage.
