MIS
  1. Good & Poor MIS
    1. Good MIS
      1. Accuracy of data

        Annotations:

        • Accuracy of the information produced usually dependent on the accuracy of the data input. 
        1. Flexibility of data analysis

          Annotations:

          • Ability to allow managers to set up their own queries flexibly. 
          1. Provide data in the most appropriate form

            Annotations:

            • Presents the data in an appropriate form, for example a graph, to make it easy to understand.
            1. Allow individual project planning

              Annotations:

              • Can be used by managers who have differing experience and skills in the use of ICT. 
              1. Allow information overload

                Annotations:

                • Too much data can be as bad as too little so the system should only contain the information that is required. 
              2. Poor MIS
                1. Complexity of the system

                  Annotations:

                  • If the system is difficult to use no one will use it, or the required information cannot be outputted. 
                  1. Inadequate initial analysis

                    Annotations:

                    • Inadequate consultation with managers during the analysis of the system to find out what their requirements from the system are. 
                    1. Inappropriate hardware and software

                      Annotations:

                      • Inappropriate hardware and software being used. For example, the network may run slowly when processing the information needed when producing MIS reports. 
                      1. Lack of management knowledge about computer systems and their capabilities

                        Annotations:

                        • Lack of training for managers means many managers do not use the system as they should. 
                        1. Poor communications between professionals

                          Annotations:

                          • Communication between IT manager and business manager is essential. 
                      2. Effective MIS & How to prevent a MIS being non-effective
                        1. Accuracy and relevancy if the data

                          Annotations:

                          • The data used from the transaction systems that supply data to the management system must be accurate. 
                          1. Flexibility of the system

                            Annotations:

                            • Managers can set up their own queries quickly. 
                            1. Providing data in an appropriate form

                              Annotations:

                              • Managers will need the data presented in the easiest form for them to interpret; some will want it in tabular form and some in graphical. 
                              1. Accessible to a wide range of users

                                Annotations:

                                • Can be used by managers who have a range of ICT skills and knowledge. 
                                1. Give information when required

                                  Annotations:

                                  • Timing is critical as there is no point in giving good information after the date it is needed for. 
                                2. What is MIS & Example
                                  1. MIS are organised collections of people, procedures and resources designed to support the decisions of managers.
                                    1. For example, looking at pupil attendance figures to try and see if there are patterns and to ensure that less pupils truant.
