Synthesis of an MIS structure
• We can divide the MIS structure
into
• (1) Conceptual structure
• (2) Physical structure
Conceptual Structure
• The conceptual structure of an MIS
is defined as a federation of
functional subsystem, each of
which is divided into four
information processing
components:
• (1) Strategic planning
• (2) Management control
• (3) Operational control
• (4) Transaction Processing

would be identical to the

completely separate programs used
by only one function.
