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.
