    Issues Regarding Mis Structure: Shashwat Shriparv Infinitysoft

    This document discusses some issues regarding the structure of management information systems (MIS). It addresses the differences between formal and informal information systems, the extent to which systems should be integrated, and the level of user-machine interaction. The key points are: 1) An organization's information system consists of both public/private and formal/informal components. Increasing the formal public system can reduce needs for other components. 2) Data integration is achieved through a common database, but separate files may still be needed for applications. Complete integration is not necessary. 3) Online user-machine interaction is not specified but supports operations and management. Immediate response is often desirable but systems must support interactive models.

    ISSUES REGARDING

    MIS STRUCTURE

    MIS-DEFINITION
    A management information system
    is
    1.An integrated user-machine system
    2.For providing information
    3.To support the operations,
    management, analysis & decision
    making functions
    4.In an organization
    SOME ISSUES OF MIS STRUCTURE

    1)Formal Vs Informal information


    system.
    2)Extent of Integration.
    3)Extent of User-Machine
    Interaction.
    Formal Vs Informal information
    system
    An organizations complete information
    processing system consists of,
    1)Public system.
    2)Private system.
    Within the public and private systems we
    have both formal and informal information
    systems.
    That is….

    1)Public Formal.
    2)Public Informal.
    3)Private Formal.
    4)Private Informal.

    Effect of MIS on relative sizes of information system components

    Public Public
    formal Informal

    Private Private
    formal informal
    The public information system of an
    organization tends to be larger than the
    private system, but the latter includes a
    significant portion of organizational
    information flows.
    By increasing the scope of the formal public
    system we can reduce the need for
    private, formal system and probably
    reduces the need for both public and
    private informal systems.
    Increasing the scope of the public formal
    system also has associated costs.
    These includes the cost of eliciting
    requirements, designing the system,
    programming, testing, and writing
    procedures for operating and using the
    system.
    Because of the high cost of developing
    systems, tendency has been to only
    automate systems that can be justified as
    public systems so that the costs are
    shared over many users.
    Increasing the scope of the formal public
    system we can reduce the time spent by
    managers in informal communication, their
    productivity will increase and thus benefit
    the organization.
    Extent of Integration

    Information systems tend to have a modular


    design with integration only where
    required.
    Inconsistencies among the subsystems are
    reduced by the use of standards and the
    common database.
    Data integration is accomplished by the use
    of a common database.
    A common database does not necessarily
    eliminate the need for separate files.
    Some files are significant only to one
    application and therefore may be designed
    for and maintained by that application.
    Data requirements for different levels of
    management activity also suggest the
    need for more than one database rather
    than complete integration.
    Extent of User-Machine
    Interaction
    The information system structure does not
    specify online user machine interaction: it
    indicates only to support for various
    operational and management activities.
    Online processing of transactions is often
    desirable because the transaction is
    completed immediately.
    Inquires are generally more effective if
    immediate response is available.
    The computer system that supports online
    transaction processing may not be able to
    support interactive models.
    However, having an information system
    does not imply that a simple computer
    system must be used.
    These approaches encourage managers
    and staff specialists to develop their own
    support models, rather than depending on
    the staff of the information processing
    function to provide them.
