Depending on how you create your classification, you can find almost
any number of different types of information system. However, it is
important to remember that different kinds of systems found in
organizations exist to deal with the particular problems and tasks that
are found in organizations. Consequently, most attempts to classify
Information systems into different types rely on the way in which task
and responsibilities are divided within an organization.
As most organizations are hierarchical, the way in which the different
classes of information systems are categorized tends to follow the
hierarchy. This is often described as "the pyramid model" because the
way in which the systems are arranged mirrors the nature of the tasks
found at various different levels in the organization.

Management Information System
What is a Management Information System?
For historical reasons, many of the different types of
Information Systems found in commercial organizations are
referred to as "Management Information Systems".
However, within our pyramid model, Management
Information Systems are management-level systems that are
used by middle managers to help ensure the smooth running
of the organization in the short to medium term.
The highly structured information provided by these systems
allows managers to evaluate an organization's performance
by comparing current with previous outputs.
