Management Information System - MIS - ApplicationFaHaD .H. NooR
Management information system (MIS) refers to the processing of information through computers to manage and support managerial decisions within an organization. The concept may include systems termed transaction processing system, decision support system, expert system, or executive information system. The term is often used in the academic study of businesses and has connections with other areas, such as information systems, information technology, informatics, e-commerce and computer science; as a result, the term is used interchangeably with some of these areas.
Management information systems (plural) as an academic discipline studies people, technology, organizations, and the relationships among them.This definition relates specifically to "MIS" as a course of study in business schools. Many business schools (or colleges of business administration within universities) have an MIS department, alongside departments of accounting, finance, management, marketing, and may award degrees (at the undergraduate, master, and doctoral levels) in Management Information Systems.
MIS professionals help organizations to maximize the benefit from investments in personnel, equipment, and business processes.There are different areas of concentration with different duties and responsibilities in information system managers starting from the Chief information officer (CIOs), Chief technology officer (CTOs), IT directors and IT security managers. Chief information officers (CIOs) are responsible for the overall technology strategy of their organizations. Basically, they are more of the decision makers and action takers when it comes down to determining the technology or information goals of an organization and making sure the necessary planning to implement those goals is being met.
Chief technology officers (CTOs) are responsible for evaluating how new technology can help their organization. They usually recommend technological solutions to support the policies issued by the CIO.[2]
IT directors including MIS directors are in charge of both their organization's Information technology departments and the supervision of thereof. They are also in charge of implementing the policies chosen by the other top branches (CIOs, CTOs). It is their role to ensure the availability of data and network services by coordinating IT activities.
IT Security Managers oversee the network and security data as the title implies. They develop programs to offer information and awareness to their employees about security threats. This team is very important because they must keep up-to-date on IT security measures in order to be successful within their organization. Any security violations need to be investigated and supervised by this specific team.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

25. System
• A set of interrelated components, with a clearly defined
boundary, working together to achieve a common set of
objectives by accepting inputs and producing outputs through
a transformation process in an organized manner
• 3 basic functions of a system
– Input involves capturing and assembling elements that enter
the system (to be processed).
– Processing involves transformation method (that convert input
elements to output).
– Output involves transferring elements that have been produced
by transformation process to ultimate destination.
• Feedback is data about the performance of a system.
• Control involves monitoring and evaluating feedback, and
making necessary adjustment to inputs & process
26. Components of Information System
• Information Systems use people, hardware, software, data and network
resources to perform input, processing, output, storage and control
activities that transform data into information products.
27. Information System Resources
1. People are the essential ingredient for the successful
operation of all information system. It includes end
users and IS specialist.
END USERS are people who use an information system or
the information it produces. They can be customers , sales
person, clerks, engineers, accountants, managers who are
found at all levels.
Knowledge workers who collaborate & communicate
IS SPECIALIST are people who develop and operate
information system. It includes system analysts, software
developers, system operators, technical & clerical IS persons
28. Information System Resources
2. Hardware Resources includes all physical devices and
material used in information processing. It includes not
only machines, such as computers but also all data
media, i.e. tangible objects on which data is recorded.
COMPUTER SYSTEM : consist of central processing units
containing micro processors and a variety of
interconnected devices such as printers , scanners etc.
COMPUTER PERIPHERALS: are devices such as keyboard,
electronic mouse for the input of data and commands , a
video screen or printers for the output of the
information, magnetic or optical drives for storage of
data resources
29. Information System Resources
3. Software resources includes all sets of information
processing instructions.
It includes the sets of information processing instruction
called programs which direct and control computer hardware
and the set of operating instructions called procedure that
people need.
Example:
• System software: OS which control and supports the
operation of computer system
• Application software: sales analysis, payroll, word processing
programs
• Procedures: Operating instructions for the people who use IS
– Data entry, error correction, paycheck distribution procedures
30. Information System Resources
4. Data resources are the input elements that are stored in
databases. This concept has been broadened by managers
and information system professionals. They realize that data
constitute valuable organizational resources.
Data can take many forms: alphanumeric, text, images,
video, audio
Data can take many forms including traditional numeric data
composed of numbers etc. The data resources of information
system are typically organized, stored, accessed by a variety
of data resource management technologies into:
Data base that hold processed and organize data.
Knowledge bases that hold knowledge in a variety of forms
such as facts, rules and cases of best business practices
31. Information System Resources
5. Network resources includes communications technologies
and networks that are fundamental to all information
system. It includes:
Communication Media- includes twisted pair wire,
microwave, cellular wireless technologies.

40. MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES
• IS and technologies must be managed to support business
strategies, business processes and organizational structures
and culture of a business enterprise
• Success and failure of IT should not be measured only by
efficiency in terms of minimizing cost, time and the use of
information resources.
• It should also be measured by effectiveness in supporting
business strategy, enabling business processes, enhancing
organizational structure and culture and increasing the
business and customer values
• However, IS & technology could be mismanaged and
misapplied resulting into not only technical problem but
also a business failure.
• Ex. Dell - Corporate Support call center
41. MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES
• Developing IS Solutions
– Agile : system is defined at high level and then developed
in short iterations
– Usable software after each iteration
• Challenges and Ethics of IT
– What might be considered improper, irresponsible and
harmful to other people or society
– Proper business use of IT, internet and organization’s IT
resources
– How to protect yourself from computer crime and other IT
risks
– Ex. CRM and HRM cases
– Ex. Hannaford Bros – Importance of securing cust. Data
42. MANAGERIAL CHALLENGES
• Challenges of IT career
– Expensive pay to IT specialist
– Raising labor costs
– Off-shore outsourcing to India, Asia Pacific,
Middle-East.
– Decrease in the cost of IT and software resulting in
more use of them by companies
– To stay competitive and efficient, business must
use it
– More new and complex IS are being implemented
and used
