Description

A Management Information System (MIS) is a systematic organization and presentation of information that is generally required by the management of an organization for taking better decisions for the organization. The MIS data may be derived from various units of the organization or from other sources. However it is very difficult to say the exact structure of MIS as the structure and goals of different types of organizations are different. Hence both the data and structure of MIS is dependent on the type of organization and often customized to the specific requirement of the management.

Today, everyone uses computers. But does everyone use them efficiently? How many business people turn to a spreadsheet when a database would be a better tool? Do managers understand how information technology can solve business problems? As a future manager, do you know about all of the technologies that businesses are using? Can you spot a business problem and identify possible information technology solutions? Can you tell when a company is simply wasting money on technology and not solving problems? Over the past decade, technology has changed many jobs. Competition and an economic downturn caused companies to cut costs wherever possible. In many cases, that meant reducing the number of employees. In the past few years, companies have used technology to alter and even eliminate management jobs. Twenty years ago, new college graduates could get entry-level jobs as managers, often performing relatively simple analytical tasks or summarizing data. Today, software does those jobs and generates detailed information on demand for executives.
Continual changes in IT present two challenges: learning to use new technologies and finding new opportunities to improve management. Most students have taken a hands-on course that teaches them how to use a computer. Many expect the introductory MIS course to be more of the same—hands-on computer usage tied to specific needs.
