IT impact on organization
Technology impacts organizational structure by enabling remote work and changing job roles. As technology advances, the need for file clerks declines while technical support roles increase. Customer needs also influence structure, such as creating new divisions for large contracts. As companies grow, more managers are required to oversee additional employees, departments, and regions. Some companies adopt flat, on-demand structures with minimal managers to encourage innovation and flexibility in how employees organize themselves around projects.
Characteristics of MIS and dss
Management Information Systems (MIS) are systems that focus on providing efficient and effective strategic decision making through the integration of hardware, software, data, processes, and people. Decision Support Systems (DSS) are interactive software systems intended to help managers access large data volumes from various systems to help decision making. Key differences are that MIS focuses on information processing and control while DSS focuses on planning, analysis and decision support. DSS also allows direct data access and is more dependent on management judgement.
Security & control in management information system
The document discusses security concepts in information systems including prevention of unauthorized access, modification, and deletion of information. It outlines unintentional threats like human error and intentional threats like criminal attacks. The goals of information security are prevention, detection, and response. Risks to applications and data include computer crime, hacking, cyber-theft, unauthorized work use, software piracy, and viruses/worms. Risks to hardware include natural disasters, blackouts, and vandalism. Major defense strategies are encryption, authentication, firewalls, email monitoring, antivirus software, backup files, security monitors, and biometric controls. The document also discusses disaster recovery, business recovery plans, and general controls to minimize errors and disasters.

System Development Life Cycle & Implementation of MIS
The document discusses the system development life cycle (SDLC) and implementation of management information systems (MIS). It describes the six main stages of the SDLC as investigation, analysis, design, development, implementation, and maintenance. For MIS implementation, it lists four methods: installing a new system, cutting over from an old system, cutting over in segments, or operating systems in parallel before cutting over. It then provides 14 steps for MIS implementation, including planning, acquiring hardware/software, testing, training users, and providing ongoing system maintenance.
The role of information system
The document discusses how information technology can increase sales and foot traffic in retail outlets located in modern malls in India.
