Introduction
Small businesses occupy a very important place in the economy.

Thus, the top manager or managers must shoulder a much broader decision making burden both horizontally (marketing, production, finance) and vertically (strategic planning, management control, operations control). As a consequence, information systems to support managerial decisions should be as important, if not more, to the small business manager as to his larger firm counterpart.
In this case, RTE, as a small business, need a help for information systems, and what we do is discussion their requirements.
