Sažetak
A manufacturing firm is a complex and dynamic system, which efficiency is measured by system response on market demands (T) and the entire business effectiveness (E). Modern information technology (IT) should have a positive effect on these two functions, but il is difficult to determine the value and mode of that influence in advance. Regularities in form T=f1(Xj) and E=f2(Xj), describing the effects of implementation new IT in certain business areas on the efficiency of the firm as the whole, are described in this study. These regularities are established on the basis of data resulting from multifactorial experiments inform 2P-k, carried out on the simulation model of the manufacturing firm. A developed mathematical model is applicable in strategic planning of information system. The results of the research are compared with the results of empirical researches, carried out by several other authors.
