Conclusion

Through this project, we learned a lot about the Information Systems Target uses and how they should improve. Our group focused on Target's sales and marketing process. As mentioned earlier, Target uses a Point of Sale system (POS). This system is used to help organize transactional data and help with the sales process. Target's main social media platform we learned about was Instagram. We were able to break down Target's use of peer-to-peer sales strategy. After meeting with the manager Jill Lanieri and researching, we were able to learn some issues Target was having.  It was revealed in the “Problem” tab, the POS system caused issues and their social media platform wasn't clear enough. When looking in the “Recommendations” tab, some solutions were created that will help improve the business in the future. 

Overall, during this team project, we were able to learn about the importance of management information systems. MIS helps businesses reach goals and improve their strengths. Having a social media presence is essential and helps creates communities and loyal customers. Seeing customers' feedback will only improve a business. Finally, Collaboration helps grow the business, but only when communication is key. We learned that there are multiple factors in MIS that will lead to a successful business.
