"..mY reFlection.."

It was warm Thursday on the afternoon of the 18th of June, 2009 when we had our first meeting on MIS. It was introduced by our professor oh sorry I mean “Facilator”, hehe. According to him he is “gwapo”, and a national president officer of PSITE. He discussed about MIS and how it deals to work. Managing ones system is indeed a hard thing to do. It takes a lot of sweats, efforts, time and controls. This would give an organized pattern of certain documents or work and clean sequence of various things, however hat we think is not as easy to do for the reason that, there are some rules and decisions to establish in managing.

High technology is rampant in today’s generation, thus it helps a big impact in making such difficult work like manually done. These days, information resources have developed tremendously especially with the latest technology available. One way to manage them is by having a system that used to be called Management Information Systems (MIS). Nowadays, the terminology of Information Technology (IT) is widely used. IT has developed into a popular and a well paying job. That is why they made to create a system that would guarantee give a necessary focused on decision making. I believe that MIS or Management Information System is the appropriate system in managing data to a system.

It is said that MIS or Management Information System is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies and procedures by management accountants in solving business problems such as costing a product, service or a business-wide strategy. Management Information Systems are distinct from regular information system in that they are used to analyze other information systems applied in operational activities in the organization. Academically the term is commonly used to refer to the group of information management methods tied to the automation or support of human decision making. Decision support system, Expert systems and Executive information systems. By this meaning, I can say that Information System should corporate to management in order for Information System to have persons to manage for. That since information technology or IT compose of Hardware and Software, it is advice to have personnel to control the system to be able to fix problems and errors to the system if ever it occurs which MIS can handle.

Management Information System is a planned system of the collecting processing, storing and disseminating data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. In a way it is documented report of the activities those ere planned and executed. A market or office that has information system consist of people, equipment and steps procedures to analyze, think and timely, accurate information to marketing or managing decision makers. Although according to my research that the terms MIS and Information Systems are often confused. Information Systems include systems that are not intended for decision making. The area of study called MIS is sometimes referred to, in restrictive sense as information technology management. That area of study should not be confused with computer science.

Information Technology service management is a practitioner-focused discipline. MIS has also some differences with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) as ERP incorporate element that are not necessarily focused on decision support. Well Management Information System linked to work which serves and give a system which naturally supply the needs of a manager to a company. This MIS is a general name for the academic discipline covering the application of people, technologies, and procedures. It is collectively, the information system to business problems. On the other hand, MIS can also help in gathering and processing specific information for decision making, and analyzing customer behavior, if we talked about management information system, we say that in business information systems support not only business process and operations, but also decision making and competitive strategies which are the fields of Management Information System. Some say that as an area of study MIS is sometimes referred to, in a restrictive sense, as information technology management.

The study of information systems is usually a business administration discipline. It concentrates on the integration of computer systems with the aims of the organization or company. This subject would help us students in analyzing and solving matters regarding to problems which management covers. This means exactly what says, it’s an Information System used by Management. Now, the definition of an Information System is a set of interrelated components that collect, process, store, and distribute information to support decision making and control in an organization. It also helps managers and workers analyze problems, visualize complex subjects, and create new products. In Conclusion, Information Systems is a major part of a Management Information System and MIS are a major part of an organization. MIS are the decision-making element that helps plan and decide where the organization wants to go in the future.

Also you have learned that the success of an organization depends partly on how successful their Information System is. Information Systems can make a huge impact on Management Decision-Making. These Systems can provide information about different aspects of the decision situation and the decision process. For example, they could tell what problems or opportunities can be trigger the decision process and which solutions could be alternatives and they can tell you how the decision was reached.

These systems can also help managers stimulate innovation on existing decision procedures or explore different solution designs. There are different types of Information systems that managers could use in decision-making. MIS Management Information Systems can be defined as the combination of human and computer based resources that results in the collection, storage, retrieval, communication and use of data for the purpose of efficient management of operations and for business planning. Generally, MIS deals with information that is systematically and routinely collected in accordance with a well-defined set of rules. Thus, and MIS is a part of the formal information network in an organization. Information that has major managerial planning significance is Such information is not part of MIS, how ever; one- shot market research data collected to gauge the potential of a new product does not come with in the scope of an MIS by our definition because although such information may be very systematically collected it is not collected on a regular basis.
