SYSTEM
System is any group of components
(functions, people, activities and events) that
interface with and compliment one another to
achieve one of more predefined goals. A
system exists within a defined boundary
including all components of the system,
components that provide input to the system
and which is influenced by output from the
system.
INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Hardware, software, people, procedures, and
data are combined to create an information
system. Information System is a generic
reference to a computer-based system that
provides data processing capabilities for a
department or an entire company and
information that people need to make better,
more informed decisions.
MATERIAL SYSTEM
Major Information System in Business
Materials system includes the information on
purchasing, vendor prices, raw materials, parts and
finished goods.
Production system includes the information on
manufacturing, scheduling, engineering, quality and
maintenance.
PRODUCTION SYSTEM
PERSONAL SYSTEM
Personal system includes information on skills available, developmental
activities, fringe benefits and safety.
FINANCE SYSTEM
Finance System includes the information on budgets, ledger
accounts, receivables and payables, loans and credits and
investments.
SCOPE OF COMPUTERS AND
INFORMATION PROCESSING
The fascinating field of computers and
information processing encompasses
everything that deals directly or indirectly with
the computer-assisted form of information.
The scope of the field includes everything
from word processing to industrial robots to
supercomputers to management information
system. The management information system
or MIS for short, is commonly used in the
business environment as a generic reference to
all technologies, procedures, systems and
people associated with computers and
information processing.

INFORMATION EXPLOSION



Until the past 25 years or so, managers almost never
felt that they have enough information to make
decisions. In the 1950s a manager could send a term of
researchers to the local library; even then, much of the
data, would not be current. Todays manager are often
burdened, not with a lack of information, but rather from
information overload.
THE COMPUTER EVOLUTION
Computer evolution from ENIAC by University of Pennsylvania,
mainframes to microcomputer.
DEVELOPMENT IN TECHNOLOGY
MIS COMPONENTS

Certain basic components are the interactive computer, data
base, graphics and computer language.
COMPUTER IMPACT ON
MANAGERIAL ACTIVITIES
By Dr. Ronald M. Pastrana where MIS or management
information system is the process of providing the manager with
the right information, at the right time, on the right uses, and at
least cost.
