Management Information Systems (MIS) is defined in multiple ways: 1) A system that provides information support for organizational decision making. 2) An integrated system of people and technology that provides information to support operations, management, and decision making. 3) A system based on an organization's database that provides information to people within the organization. MIS blends principles of management, information, and systems to create a product that gives information to users through data analysis. It is made up of several subsystems like data collection, processing, storage, and distribution across both functional and corporate levels to support an organization's business processes and activities.

The concept is a blend of principles, theories
and practices of management, information and
system giving rise to a single product called
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.
MIS gives information through data analysis.

The physical view of MIS can be seen as as
assembly of several subsystems based on the
databases in the organisation.
These subsystems range from data collection,
transaction processing and validating,
processing, analysing and storing the
information in databases.
The subsystems could be at a functional level
or a corporate level.

11. Perspectives on Information Systems
• Information system: Three activities produce
information organizations need
• Input: Captures raw data from organization or
external environment
• Processing: Converts raw data into meaningful
form
• Output: Transfers processed information to
people or activities that use it

12. Perspectives on Information Systems
Feedback:
• Output returned to appropriate members of
organization to help evaluate or correct input
stage
• Computer/Computer program vs.
information system
• Computers and software are technical
foundation and tools, similar to the material
and tools used to build a house

13. Data and Information
• Information vs. data
• Data are streams of raw facts
• Information is data shaped into meaningful
form

• Sets of activities, steps
• May be tied to functional area or be cross-
