Abstract

This study investigates the connection between the productivity of the industrial businesses in Rivers State and the management information system. The cross-sectional survey research design was employed. 58 managers from 16 manufacturing companies in Rivers State made up the study's population. A systematic questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The study tool was verified through experiment and adherence, and its reliability was established through the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, with all of the items scoring over 0.70. The Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypotheses.  The tests were run at a significance level of 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval. The results indicated that in Rivers State, manufacturing companies' office productivity and management information system have a high correlation. Information systems were advised to be implemented at the management and operational levels of every organization, and organizations must adopt MIS to close the communication gap between top-level management, middle-level management, and lower-level management in order to improve the company's capacity for effective operation with the expectation of high profitability.
