Management information system, or MIS, broadly refers to a computer-based system that provides managers with the tools to organize, evaluate and efficiently manage departments within an organization.
Management Information Systems (MIS) is the study of people, technology, and organizations.

If you enjoy technology like iPhones, iPods, and Facebook, you have what it takes to major in information systems. All you need is an interest in technology and the desire to use technology to improve people’s lives. Many people think that MIS is all programming. However, programming is just a small part of our curriculum and there are so  many jobs in MIS where you do not program.

Everyone who works in business, from someone who pays the bills to the person who hires and fires, uses information systems. For example, a supermarket could use a computer database to keep track of which products sell best. And a music store could use a database to sell CDs over the Internet.

Information isn’t worth much if it doesn’t serve a purpose. MIS students learn how businesses use information to improve the company’s operations. Students also learn how to manage various information systems so that they best serve the needs of managers, staff and customers. MIS students learn how to create systems for finding and storing data and they learn about computer databases, networks, computer security, and much more.

Topics and Objectives:

• MIS is very useful for efficient and effective planning and control functions of the management. Management is the art of getting things done through others. MIS will be instrumental in getting the things done by providing quick and timely information to the management.
• Reports give an idea about the performance of men, materials, machinery, money and management. Reports throw light on the utilization of resources employed in the organisation.
• MIS is helpful in controlling costs by giving information about idle time, labour turnover, wastages and losses and surplus capacity.
• By making comparison of actual performance with the standard and budgeted performance, variances are brought to the notice of the management by MIS which can be corrected by taking remedial steps.
• MIS brings to the notice of the management strength (i.e., strong points) of the organisation, to take advantage of the opportunities available.
• MIS reports on production statistics regarding rejection, defective and spoilage and their effect on costs and quality of the products.
