The questionnaire was used for data collection from the 360 sampled managers out of which 332 responded and the copies of their questionnaire were found valid for analysis. The study found that the studied companies had moderate organizational effectiveness. Information acquisition, information sources and services' utilization had significant relationship with organizational effectiveness of the respondents. However, information acquisition, information sources and services' utilization of the managers had significantly determined organizational effectiveness of the manufacturing companies specializing in industrial and domestic products in Nigeria.
