Abstract: Current study aimed at examining the requirements of AIS in building modern operating business environment within retail trading unit in Jordan including malls, hyper market and supermarkets. Requirements were divided into internal resources including (human resources, IT infrastructure and knowledge sharing) while the other part took into perspective the external resources (technological vigilance, competiveness and market). Total of 150 individuals were exposed to a questionnaire as a tool of study. Results of the current study concluded that the current AIS tools and their techniques used in large retail stores in Jordan meet the needs of the modern business environment due to the ability of these tools to meet the needs of the modern business environment and be a response to it to achieve the goals of the organisation. Also, results of study indicated that both internal and external resources are extremely important but internal resources appeared to be more influential as main requirements for modern accounting operations in organisations. Study recommended that the organisations should use the talents of their existing and intangible organisational capabilities in developing their internal business environment in addition to developing their external tools and means in dealing with clients and competitors.
