Management Information Systems

Management Information Systems

Information SystemsThere are three key resources in management information systems (MIS); they are information, information technology, and people. Only one of these three resources is most important. Technology is one of the major reasons why people are being displaced from their jobs every day. Thus, one would think that information technology is the most important factor. But, which resource will prove to be the most important?
One does not have to read a text to answer this question. The answer is, and always will be people. People may utilize information technology in order to relate with and have utility with certain information. However, management information systems are nothing more than a form of business controls which can be studied academically (Haag & Cummings, 2009).

People are more Important than Information Systems

Information SystemsWhile, by contrast, people are the ones who create and gather information to enter as data into these systems. Consequently, without people there would be no information systems. To take it even further, without people to develop technology, that technology would not have existed. Though management information systems and technology on a whole help add value to one’s business.

Information System are Important to Businesses

Information SystemsIn business one is standing still or moving forward. Technology (information systems) help a business move forward; thus, businesses can compete in a high-tech world. The alternative is falling behind one’s competition. This is true, since information technology affects both the top line and bottom line (Haag & Cummings). Therefore, management information systems are important. But without people to create this technology, and then create, gather and input data into the systems MIS in this sense would not be possible.
