Identifying sub systems
Sub systems can be identified on the
following basis:
Inter connecting sub
systems
Arranging the sub systems in a proper way
Connected with each other to achieve
coordination and integration among these
sub systems.
Each sub systems contributes positively to
other sub systems.
Because of this the system generates synergy.
Aspects of interconnecting:


MIS Architecture
Need for MIS
Decision making
Strategic planning
Management control
Operational planning and control
Limitations of MIS
Quality of outputs is governed by the quality of
inputs and processes.
Emphasizes on quantitative aspects of a fact
and ignores the qualitative aspect.
May not have requisite flexibility to quickly
update itself with the changing needs of time.
Cannot provide tailor made information for all
types of decisions made by the managers.
