Infor"ation Syste"s

&oday &he early focus on IS was for the support of

operations- "anage"ent- analysis and decision5"a%ing in organi2ations.

! signicant e"phasis was on "odels of planningand control.

&er"inology

In "any te7tboo%s and conte7ts- the ter"sManagement Information ystems 9or MIS: andInformation ystems9IS: are used interchangeably.

#owever- in other conte7ts- ManagementInformation ystemsare considered as a subset ofthe "ore general Information ystems. MIS areconsidered to be infor"ation syste"s whichprovides infor"ation specically for "anaging anorgani2ation generally at a tactical or "iddle"anage"ent level. Information ystemswould be

a "ore general ter" that can include othersyste"s 9e.g. group co""unication syste"s:. Wewill generally follow this convention.

&he MIS concept includes "uch of thecontents of "anagerial accounting.

MIS and OG

OG is i"portant in relation to the MISbecause it has developed proceduresfor the analysis and co"puter based

solutions for "any types of decisionproble"s.

&he syste"atic approach to proble"

solving- use of "odels- and co"puterbased solution algorith"s aregenerally incorporated in the

decision support syste" co"ponent

MIS and Organi2ational&heory

Since MIS is a support syste" fororgani2ational functions- it drawsupon concepts of organi2ation- O$-

"anage"ent and decision "a%ing


25/26

MIS and 4o"puter Science

4o"puter science is i"portant to MISbecause it covers topic such asalgorith"s- soft wares- data

structures- co"putations etc.
