(ii) An expert system. Formulation of market strategies is a task carried out at the strategic level
of an organization. It‘s an unstructured process, which is non-routine in nature. Expert systems
would address this task since they are designed to handle unstructured decision-making.
(iii) A decision support system. Financial sensitivity or risk analysis may be considered as a
semi-structured task since certain steps must be followed and at the same time each step may
be open to a flexible approach.
(iii) Transaction processing system. Making ticket reservations is a routine, repetitive procedure
at the operational level of a ticket reservation company. It‘s best handled by a transaction
processing system since transaction processing systems are designed to carry out routine,
repetitive tasks.
