Definitions of Management Information Systems
• C. Systems Concepts:

arrangement of interdependent ideas or constructs (ABSTRACT SYSTEM)
• b. a set of elements which operate together to accomplish an objective (PHYSICAL SYSTEM)
![Page 17: Management Information Systems](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568139d0550346895da18273/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Systems Concepts
• c. Network: An Integrated environment for a specific set of tasks
– A definition of a system: A physical system is a set of components (subsystems or elementary parts) that operate together to achieve a common objective (or multiple objectives).
![Page 18: Management Information Systems](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568139d0550346895da18273/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Systems Concepts
• d. General Model of a System: Input, process and output.
– The features which define and delineate a system from its boundary. The system is inside the boundary and the environment is outside the boundary.
– a system is composed of subsystems
– Examples: stereo system, PC, automobile.
![Page 19: Management Information Systems](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062517/568139d0550346895da18273/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Systems Concepts
– The interconnections and interactions between the subsystems are the INTERFACES.
– Example of a system: An information system:
– subsystems: PC Monitor, PC software, PC hard disk, User.
– What is the boundary between the software and the User?

• Information Systems– What are Information Systems?
• 1. Information (another definition): an increment in knowledge.
– Information relies on the context of the question– .general knowledge of the recipient.
• 2. Informal information: interpersonal networking– Note: Informal information and other information may not lend
itself to computerization, yet!
• 3. Formal information: Organized information with a specific purpose following rules and procedures (highly structured)

MIS as an evolving concept
Successful MIS must provide information that can be applied:
• MIS should known who the users are
• MIS should provide the information the user needs
• MIS should provide the information in the format the user can understand.
