Abstract

MIS professionals help organizations to maximize the benefit from investments in personnel, equipment, and business processes. MIS is people-oriented, with an emphasis on service. Although today it is increasingly built on computer hardware, software and networks, it does not necessarily have to be computer-based. Management information systems are distinct from other information systems in that they are used to analyze and facilitate strategic and operational activities. Management Information Systems are designed to give managers the right information to make the right decision.
