a primitive way such as manual sorting, etc. by a clerk. Using IT definitely outperform any other means in history, in terms of processing data. Systems If a nice system is made, it is selfrunning which leads to reducing the people necessary to the business process. Systems Theory, Systems approach Systematically doing business Systems es from systems theory that stresses the importance of systems approach to problem solving and a structured way to control and adjust automatically. Computer programmers and software engineers/developers realized it was only way to reduce a possibility of encountering errors later in the systems development process. When you construct a new/better system for the current business operations/decisionmaking process, you don39。t want to make a puter program based on the current business way. Instead, you develop a new model after serious analysis of the current system, so later can save resource in terms of time and money by avoiding a possible mistake/error. Therefore, business process reengineering (BPR) is unthinkable without a sound understanding of systems theory/concepts. MIS is a field of science that studies on (1) how better we can manage technologies (2) how better we can design information systems, in order to enhance a firm39。s effectiveness, efficiency and profitability. MIS is a new subject in the last ten to fifteen years. The idea is still being researched since the concept is being evolved. A teacher39。s bias has a large impact on this type of subject. Classification of Specialties in MIS ? Systems Planning ? Systems Development ? Systems Review and Enhancement ? Special Computer Applications Systems Planning facilities planning, distributed processing systems, systems anization, management and staff development and training, and application of new technologies. Systems Development feasibility study and cost benefit analysis, development of detailed system specifications, equipment selection and configuration, software procurement / technical supervision of programming, implementation assistance, documentation and user training. Systems Review and Enhancement reevaluation of information processing requirements, plete information system productivity audits, hardware/software performance evaluation and fine tuning, assessment and improvement of application program efficiency, staff productivity, data processing operations, studies of system development and testing procedures, environment, security and reliability. Special Computer Applications production planning and scheduling, inventory control, resource allocation, transportation and distribution logistics, leastcost formulation, personnel planning and administration, project management/control, system simulation, corporate models, information retrieval and analysis, process control, scientific and engineering applications. Our Approach to MIS Design All modern anizations are characterized by the need for management information. However this need is met, from the simplest verbal reporting system to the most sophisticated
