MIS-An INTRODUCTION
Why MIS?Can’t we do without MIS?
What is MIS?What is Management?What is Information?What is Systems?
04/07/23 3
Why MIS?
Today’s Manager is confronted with TWO main challenges:
he/she has to
TAKE QUICK DECISIONS PROCESS A LARGE VOLUMINOUS INFORMATION
04/07/23 4
What is an MIS?
MIS- An Acronym of _ _ _ M I S
04/07/23 5
MANAGEMENT
To get the work done through and with the help of people
By performing basic functions of management
04/07/23 6
……basic functions of management
PLANNING ORGANISING STAFFING DIRECTING CONTROLLING
04/07/23 7
Essence of Management
Whatever a manager does, he/she does it through DECISION-MAKING
“DECISION-MAKING IS AN ESSENCE OF MANAGEMENT”
-Peter Drucker
04/07/23 8
INPUT IN DECISION MAKING
For Decision Making
INFORMATION is the necessary and vital input
04/07/23 9
Data A stream of raw facts about
anything Examples:.
Record of all the players in one day cricket matches.
Detailed Marks of all students in a class.
Business data as obtained from various business houses.
04/07/23 10
Information
processed data, which is useful to the recipient.
Examples: Profit of the company in the current year The highest ever score in one day cricket First ten toppers in a class The top 50 business houses of India.
04/07/23 11
Then Information is……
WHICH Tells something the receiver did
not know Reduces uncertainty Has a surprise value Has a real / perceived value in
current / prospective decision.

SYSTEM ?
“The word ‘System’ is the most loosely held word in Management Literature”

……THEN WHAT IS A System?
Input OutputProcess
A set of inter-related elements working towards a common objective(s).

System and Environment
A system is a set of interrelated elements that collectively work together to achieve some common goal or objective.
All systems function within some
kind of environment.

Systems Approach to management
WHOLISTIC APPROACH
CONTRARY TO
PIECEMEAL APPROACH
The Whole is greater than the sum of its parts
2+2=5
04/07/23 23
....Systems Approach
Every system is held together by way of Information Exchange.Classical
Systems
04/07/23 24
Management Information System is
A set of interrelated components which Collect, retrieve, process, store and
distribute information To support decision making Of managers In an organization.

Problems with SDLC
•Real Projects are generally iterative, not sequential
•Tough to state all requirements in the beginning
•Customer must be patient as working version not available until late.
04/07/23 107
Structured Systems Analysis and Design
Methodologies
Begins with documentation of existing system.
Easy to verify when relevant details have been omitted.
Requirements identification similar among individual analysts.
Working papers act as effective communication device.
