What is Management Information Systems ?

The planning for and the development, management and use of

information technology tools…
to help people perform all the tasks related to information processing
and management.

• Incorporating Ecommerce into the business

• They represent new emerging computing
platforms, based on an array of new
hardware and software technologies.
• More and more business computing is
moving from PCs and desktop machines
to these mobile devices. Managers are
increasingly using these devices to
coordinate work, communicate with
employees, and provide information for
decision making. We call these
developments the “emerging mobile
digital platform.”

Information systems and technologies are a major enabling tool for
firms to create new products and services, as well as entirely new
business models.

Business Model
describes how a company produces, delivers, and sells a product or
service to create wealth.

Interdependence between Organizations and
Information Systems : Explanation
Customer & Customer: To know better about customer, to serve them better, to increase retention rate
(repurchasing) & purchase value, to increase profitability
Supplier
Supplier: To engage better supplier in order to provide better vital input, lower cost and
Intimacy unefficiency

Improved Provide real-time data for managers to make right decision based on right information at a
right time (ex: over or underproduction of goods or services, misallocation of resources, poor
Decision response time)
Making
Competitive Help increase competitive advantage of a firm through their excellence(s): operational excellence,
new product, services, and business models, customer/supplier intimacy, and improved decision
Advantage making. Doing things better than competitors. Ex: charging less for superior products, response
customer and supplier in real time.

Survival All factors will end up to the firm’s survival. Give more value for customers to increase
profitability, and avoid from bankruptcy
What is an Information Technology ?

Any computer based tool that people use to work with

information and to information processing needs of an
organization.
What is an Information Systems ?
An information system is a set of interrelated components that
collect, manipulate, store data and disseminate information and
provide a feedback mechanism to monitor performance.

Information:
Data: Data that have been shaped into a form
Raw unorganized facts that is meaningful and useful to human
20
beings
 transactions that are recorded, classified
and stored but are not organized to convey
any specific meaning

Data

accumulated learning and expertise as

Knowledge they apply to a current problem or
activity.
Function of Information Systems
An information system
contains information about
organization and its
surrounding environment

Three Basic Activities

Input Processing Output

Produce the information

organizations need

Feedback : output returned to appropriate people or activities in the

organization to evaluate and refine the input
Capabilities of Information Systems

Store huge amounts of information in small space

Allow quick, inexpensive access to vast amounts of information

worldwide

Interpret vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently

Increase effectiveness and efficiency of people working in groups in one

place or around the world
Capabilities of Information Systems

Perform high-speed, high-volume numerical computations

Automate semiautomatic business process and manual

tasks

Provide fast, accurate communication and collaboration

within and among organizations
Dimension of Information Systems

Information systems are more than computers

To fully understand information
systems, you must understand the
broader organization,
management, and information
technology dimensions of systems
and their power to provide
solutions to challenges and
problems in the business
environment.
The field of MIS tries to achieve this
broader information system literacy.
