An information system is composed of people and computers that processes information to help organizations survive and develop through motivation, teamwork, innovation, leadership and decision making. A management information system (MIS) provides managers tools to organize, evaluate and efficiently manage departments by providing past, present and predictive information through software that supports decision making, data resources, decision support, people management and project management. An MIS differs from regular information systems in that its primary objective is analyzing other systems dealing with operational activities and supporting management's planning and control functions.
