Relationship between companiesвЂ™ performance and sophistication in MAS designs, evidence which hitherto This study has made significant contribution to literature by providing empirical evidence of the Designers must however, consider the level ofД®nvironmental uncertainty and technological complexity in making a choice of design. The level of sophistication in their MAS designs. Nigerian manufacturingД¬ompanies were encouraged to seek better information for improving their performance by increasing Technological complexity and environmental uncertainty facing the companies. Lead to higher performance when the designs are tailored to the level of the technical variables of Moderated regression analysis also provided support for the proposition that improved MAS design will However indicated that the technical variables had higher explanatory power. Technical variables contribute to explaining MAS designs in the companies. The results of the ttests, correlations and simple regressions provided support for the expectation that both institutional and The category of traditional MAS design and 3.47% were described as rudimentary.

Sophistication, in the majority of the sampled companies were low in sophistication, 63.20% belonging to The results of the descriptive statistics showed that the MAS designs, measured using an index of Regression and hierarchical/moderated regression analyses were used. Statistical tools including frequencies, percentages, means, t-tests, correlations, simple Questionnaire survey of managers of one hundred and forty-four selected Nigerian manufacturingД¬ompanies. The model was tested by means of empirical data collected through a The designs of MAS adopted by the Nigerian manufacturing companies and proposed a link between the MAS was proposed which incorporated both institutional and technical variables as major influences on

The manufacturing sector in Nigeria, sought to find out whether relationships exist between the MASДesigns, factors in the companiesвЂ™ environment and their performance.
