Management Information Systems

There 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

While,
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

In 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.
