The document discusses the key concepts of information systems including: what an information system is, the types of information systems, and their components. It defines information systems as any organized combination of people, technology, and data that collects, retrieves, and disseminates information in an organization. The main types of information systems are operational support systems, which process business transactions and data, and management support systems, which provide information to support decision making.

Recognizing Information Systems
With the rapid increase in performance of computers over the last few years it is unlikely that any business will survive without some means of computerised data processing in the future.
It is therefore very important that any person planning and involved in any career in today’s commercial environment is provided with a basic understanding of computer technology and the theory of Management Information System (MIS).
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.

Features of information systems: data; people; hardware; software; telecommunications
Functions of information systems: input; storage; processing; output; control and feedback loops; closed
and open systems
Transformation of data into information: distinction between data and information; collection, storage,
processing, manipulation, retrieval, presentation
Types of information system: management information systems; others eg marketing (sales performance,
competitors etc), financial (financial costs, investment returns etc), human resources (HR) (staffing,
professional development etc)
Management information systems (MIS): features; benefits; effectiveness criteria eg accuracy, sustainability,
response times, confidence

Organization of the IS Function
• Typical firm has a unit called the IS department who
are responsible for IT services
• Members of the IS department
– Programmers
– System analysts
– Project managers
– CIO
– Database administrators
– Network administrators
– Chief information officer
• End users (users of IS services outside the IS
department)

How IS Impact Organizations
• Economic theories
– IS/IT enables firms to lower their transaction costs
and increase revenues with fewer employees
(transaction cost theory)
– Agency theory suggests that IS/IT enables firms to
reduce management costs and increase revenues
• Behavioral theories
– IS/IT has moved decision-making to lower levels of
management and managers make decisions faster
because information is readily available
• Post-industrial theories
– Also support flattening of hierarchies, but reasons
are that authority arises from knowledge and
competence rather than formal positions;
knowledge workers tend to be self-managed; task
force organization

How IS Impact Organizations (cont)
• Increasing flexibility as evidenced by ability of orgs to
respond to changes and take advantage of new
opportunities
– Improved communication
– Separation of work and location
– Mass customization
– Data-mining
– The Internet
10/7/2007 Laudon & Laudon 6
How IS Impact Organizations (cont)
• The Internet and Organizations
– The Internet increases the accessibility, storage,
distribution of information and knowledge for
business firms.
– The Internet lowers the transaction and agency
costs of firms.
– Businesses are rapidly rebuilding their key business
processes based on Internet technology. Example:
online order entry, customer service, and fulfillment
of orders.

How IS Impact Organizations (cont)
• Organizational resistance to change
– Information systems become bound up in
organizational politics because they influence access
to a key resource (information).
– Information systems potentially change an
organization’s structure, culture, politics, and work.
– Most common reason for failure of large projects is
due to organizational and political resistance to
change.

IS and Business Strategy
• Business strategy determines
– The products and services a firm produces
– The industries in which the firm competes
– Competitors, suppliers, and customers of the firm
– Long-term goals of the firm

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
