Understanding Management Information Systems

1. Management Information Systems (MIS) affects all areas of business and requires a basic understanding to leverage information technology and solve business problems. 2. There is no distinction between an IT project and a business initiative, as both affect all areas of business. However, many IT projects and development projects are considered unsuccessful due to a lack of focus on business needs and stakeholder comfort. 3. An information system comprises people, hardware, software, networks, and data resources that process and store data to output useful information for the management and control of organizational systems and business processes.
