Course: COMP20 – Management Information System

Course Description

Learn about the components of business information systems, with an emphasis on data
transmission, management information software, and the ways that businesses manage data.

Course Introduction

Management Information Systems (MIS) is a formal discipline within business education that
bridges the gap between computer science and well-known business disciplines such as
finance, marketing, and management. In spite of this, most students will only take one or two
MIS courses as part of their undergraduate program.

The term "Management Information Systems" has several definitions, depending upon where
you look or whom you ask. Common among these many definitions is that MIS represent a
collection of technologies, people, and processes that manage the information and
communication resources of an organization.

MIS can be the means by which information is transmitted (such as the Internet), the software
that displays the information (such as Microsoft Excel), or the systems that manage the data.
In this course, you will learn about the components of management information systems and
how to leverage them in business.

This course includes the following units:

• Unit 1: Introduction to Management Information Systems


• Unit 2: MIS Basics: Hardware, Software, Networking, and Security

• Unit 5: Information Systems Development
