OBJECTIVES OF MIS
The goals of an MIS are to implement the organizational structure and dynamics
of the enterprise for the purpose of managing the organization in a better way
and capturing the potential of the information system for competitive advantage.
Following are the basic objectives of an MIS:
TYPES OF MIS
TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEMS :( TPS)
These systems process a large volume of routine, recurring transactions.
Transaction processing systems (TPS) deal with computerization of any type of
transactions such as financial transactions (receipts, payments etc.), sales
transactions (purchases, sales etc.). The purpose of TPS is to track the routine
activities and automate the day-to-day operations of specific activities of an
organization such as sales, production, payroll etc.
To computerize day-to-day transactions like sales etc., print sales vouchers,
prepare daily reports, summary reports etc. This system intends to reduce
manual work and speed up operations by using computers. At the operational
level the tasks and goals are predefined and the processes are highly structured.

ADVANTAGES
The following are some of the benefits that can be attained using MIS
10
DISADVANTAGES
EXPENSIVE
Installing a management information system can be expensive for a company.
Information technologywhile cheaper today than previous yearscan represent
a significant expense, especially for larger organizations. These systems may
also require ongoing support or upgrade fees, which can represent future fixed
cash outflows. Companies must create a budget to pay for these items to ensure
the information system stays current with business technology. Attempting to
integrate these systems with technology currently in use can also increase
expenses.
MAINTENANCE
Companies may need to hire maintenance individuals to help keep an electronic
information system running smoothly. These individuals often need experience in
computer science functions and other business topics. Not only does this
increase labor costs, but it also requires additional training and ongoing
education for these individuals. Business technology can change frequently,
creating an environment where companies must have trained individuals who
can properly maintain computers, websites, servers and other equipment in use
by the management information system.
UNEMPLOYMENT
While information technology may have streamlined the business process it has
also created job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. This means that a lot
of lower and middle level jobs have been done away with causing more people to
become
unemployed.
PRIVACY
Though information technology may have made communication quicker, easier
and more convenient, it has also bought along privacy issues. From cell phone
signal interceptions to email hacking, people are now worried about their once
private
information
becoming
public
knowledge.
