What is MIS?
Short for Management Information System MIS refers broadly to a computer-based system that provides managers with the tools for organizing, evaluating and efficiently running their departments. The field of study that encompasses a variety of people involved in the development, use, management and study of computer-based information systems in organizations

Types of Decision
1. Irreversible
These are those types of decisions, which, if made once cannot be unmade

2. Reversible
This is the decisions that can be changed completely, before, during or after the agreed action begins.

3. Experimental
These types of decisions are not final until the first results appear and prove themselves to be satisfactory

4. Trial and Error

A certain course of action is selected and is tried out, if the results are positive, the action is carried further

5. Made in Stages
Here the decisions are made in steps until the whole action is completed. It permits feedback and further discussion before the next stage of the decision is made.

6. Conditional
It is an either / or kind of decision with all options kept open

7. Delayed
Such decisions are put on hold till the decisionmakers feel that the time is right

Types of Decision support system

Model-driven DSS
These are used by managers and staff members of a business, or people who interact with the organization, for a number of purposes depending on how the model is set up - scheduling, decision analyses etc.

Communication-driven DSS
Its purpose are to help conduct a meeting, or for users to collaborate. The most common technology used to deploy the DSS is a web or client server. Examples: chats and instant messaging software, online collaboration and net-meeting systems.

Data-driven DSS or Data Oriented DSS

It is used to query a database or data warehouse to seek specific answers for specific purposes.

Document-driven DSS
The purpose of such a DSS is to search web pages and find documents on a specific set of keywords or search terms

Knowledge-driven DSS
Catch all category covering a broad range of systems users within the organization. For example: consumers of a business. It is essentially used to provide management advice or to choose products/services.

Decision Tree
A decision tree is a decision support tool, used to identify the strategy most likely to reach a goal. On the other hand, a decision tree is a predictive model; that is, a mapping of observations about an item to conclusions about the item's target value.

Another use of trees is as a descriptive means for calculating conditional probabilities.

Other Decision tools are like Decision Table, What-If Analysis

Question To Solve

Question
Draw a suitable Decision Tree to represent a student is passed the examination or not and division of the student based on the following conditions

Minimum Requirement to pass in the examination is >=40% marks in each paper

Conditions >=60% 50 to 59% 40 to 49% Otherwise

Division 1st Class 2nd Class 3rd Class Fail

Advantages of DSS
are simple to understand and interpret have value even with little hard data use a white box model can be combined with other decision techniques

Common Questions
TPS is the necessary part of MIS KMS is necessary in MIS Decision Tree is a tool to take automatic decission In MIS Expert system is necessary Office Automation System means ferent application software to prepare the documents. GSS is a part of MIS Group Wise Presentation based on => Different entries of TPS => Different application area of MIS => Role of KMS Assignment 1. How GSS will help you in your project 2. KMS is necessary in your project? Justify. 3. Prepare minimum 3 decision trees related to your project.

Managing Hardware and software Assets

As a manager, you'll face many decisions about using hardware and software to improve the performance of your firm and subsequently you need answer yourself as:

What computer processing and storage capability does our organization need to handle its information and business transactions? What arrangement of computers and computer processing would best benefit our organization? What kinds of software and software tools do we need to run our business? What criteria should we use to select our software technology? Of what new software technologies should we be aware? How would they benefit our organization? How should we acquire and manage the firm's hardware and software assets?
