Management Information Systems (MIS) is a

general name for the academic discipline

covering the application of people,

technologies, and procedures collectively

called the information system to solve

business problems. MIS are distinct from

regular information systems in that they are

used to analyze other information systems

applied in operational activities in the

organisation. 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, e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert

systems, and Executive information systems.




The term (Information System) has the

following meanings: An information

system consists of three components:

1. Human:

2. Technology:

3. Organization.

In this view, information is defined

in terms of the three levels of semiotics.

1. Data which can be automatically processed

by the application system corresponds to

the syntax-level.

2. In the context of an individual who

interprets the data they become

information, which correspond to the

semantic-level.

3. Information becomes knowledge when

an individual knows (understands)

and evaluates the information (e.g.,

or a specific task). This corresponds

to the pragmatic-level.

In general systems theory, an information

system is a system, automated or manual,

that comprises people, machines, and/or

methods organized to collect, process,

transmit, and disseminate data that

represent user information.
