According to David Ingram (2015) CMS refers to systems and processes to collect data from different sources in order to present information in a more understandable layout. Beynon-Davies (2015,p.2) argues Computer management system it’s extremely significant for business activities overall, because for businesses data it’s the most powerful factor as information its critical to create competiveness among private sector, as through systems information organisations are always aware of anything related to sales, orders, stock control and records , and this information it’s what it contributes for businesses realisation overall due to the ability that each systems has on gathering up to date data. CMS minimizes overload data, because the system has the ability to modify the larger amount of information data by summarizing everything in order to avoid managers to get confused and get flooded with exhaustive details (Management hub,2016).
Management Information Systems (MIS) are essential for any business whether you are a start-up business or a multi-million dollar corporation. These systems help you and your company anywhere from your hardware and software to your Human Resources (HR) and manufacturing. I am going to address of the components that are needed to make a completed MIS, some of these components come with a hefty price, but regardless of the price these components will be key in turning your business into a start-up to a thriving and ever growing business.
A system can be simply defined as a group of interrelated or interacting elements forming a unified whole. Many examples of systems can be found in the physical and biological sciences, in modern technology, and in human society. Thus, we can talk of the physical system of the sun and its planets, the biological system of the human body, the technological system of an oil refinery, and the socioeconomic system of a business organization. A system is a group of interrelated components working together toward a common goal by accepting inputs and producing outputs in an organized transformation process. Such a system (sometimes called a dynamic system) has three basic interacting components or functions:
“The study of MIS is not about the use of computers, it is about the provision and use of information relevant to the user. Computers are one - albeit important - means of producing information and concentration on the means of production rather than the needs of the user can lead to expensive mistakes." (Lucey [1997] pg 195)
Management Information Systems (MIS) has become a rapidly sought-after specialization in the past few decades. But the roots, of this specialization, are definitely not that new. Let 's say, even Chitragupta, the god of scribes, was practicing MIS while keeping track of the deeds of humans, you know, for purposes of creating a database for good and bad karma. So, as you might have guessed already, MIS has to do with managing information. Without good practices of record-keeping and utilizing that record, Chitragupta 's ledger could have missed out on meting out fairly deserved karma kickbacks.
