Answer: A management information system (MIS) is a system or process that provides

the information necessary to manage an organization effectively. MIS and the information

business decisions.

Here are some of the important roles of the MIS:

 The MIS satisfies the diverse needs through variety of systems such as query
system, analysis system, modeling system and decision support system.
 The MIS helps in strategic planning, management control, operational control and
transaction processing. The MIS helps in the clerical personal in the transaction
processing and answers the queries on the data pertaining to the transaction, the
status of a particular record and reference on a variety of documents.
 The MIS helps the junior management personnel by providing the operational
data for planning, scheduling and control , and helps them further in decision-
making at the operation level to correct an out of control situation.
 The MIS helps the middle management in short term planning, target setting and
controlling the business functions. It is supported by the use of the management
tools of planning and control.
 The MIS helps the top level management in goal setting, strategic planning and
evolving the business plans and their implementation.
 The MIS plays the role of information generation, communication, problem
identification and helps in the process of decision-making. The MIS, therefore,
plays a vital role in the management, administration and operation of an
organization.
