MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM(MIS)
The MIS is defined as a system based on the database of

the evolved for the purpose of providing information to
the people in the organization.

Management information systems are distinct from regular
information systems in that they are used to analyze other
information systems applied in operational activities in the
organization. MIS involve three primary resources:
technology, information, and people.
Management information systems are regarded to be a
subset of the overall internal controls procedures in a
business, which cover the application of people,
documents, technologies, and procedures used by
management accountants to solve business problems such
as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy.

Role Of MIS
The role of MIS in an organization can be compared to the
role of heart in the body.
The information is the blood and MIS is the heart. In the

body the heart plays the role of supplying pure blood to all
the elements of the body including the brain.
The MIS plays exactly the same role in the organization.
The system ensures that an appropriate data is collected

from the various sources, processed, and sent further to all
the needy destinations.

The system is expected to fulfill the information needs of
an individual, a group of individuals, the management
functionaries: the managers and the top management.
The MIS satisfies the diverse needs through a variety of

systems such as Query Systems, Analysis Systems,
Modeling Systems and Decision Support Systems.
The MIS helps in Strategic Planning, Management

Control, Operational Control and Transaction Processing.
8
Characteristics of MIS
Management-oriented: The basic objective of MIS is to
provide information support to the management in the
organization for decision making.
Management directed: When MIS is management-
oriented, it should be directed by the management because
it is the management who tells their needs and
requirements more effectively than anybody else.
Integrated: It means a comprehensive or complete view
of all the subsystems in the organization of a company.
9
Common data flows: The integration of different
subsystems will lead to a common data flow which will
further help in avoiding duplicacy and redundancy in data
collection, storage and processing.
Heavy planning-element: The preparation of MIS is not
a one or two day exercise. It usually takes 3 to 5 years and
sometimes a much longer period.
Subsystem concept: When a problem is seen in 2 sub
parts, then the better solution to the problem is possible.
10
Common database: This is the basic feature of MIS to
achieve the objective of using MIS in business
organizations.
Computerized: MIS can be used without a computer. But
the use of computers increases the effectiveness and the
efficiency of the system.
User friendly/Flexibility: An MIS should be flexible.
Information as a resource: Information is the major
ingredient of any MIS.

Accuracy
Consistency

customers); to determine the current and future needs and
preferences, attitudes and behavior of the market; and to
assess changes in the business environment that may
affect the size and nature of the market in the future.
14
3) Internal Record System (IRS)
Marketing managers rely on internal reports on orders, sales,
prices, costs, inventory levels, receivables, payables, and
so on. By analyzing this information, they can spot
important opportunities and problems.

4) Decision Support System(DSS)
A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based
information system that supports business or
organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the
management, operations, and planning levels of an
organization and help to make decisions, which may be
rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance.
