The general trend today is to reduce the acceptance of base salary and boost the importance of shortand longterm executive incentives. The main issue here is identifying the appropriate performance measures for each type of incentive and then determining how to link these to pay .

The key elements of this definition are —An integrated uer/machine system —For proving information—To support decision making—In an enterpriseA management information system utilizes—Computer hardware and software—Manual procedures—Models for analysis—A databaseJust as there is a logical flow of materials in the creation of a product, there is logical flow of information in a management information manufacturing,raw materials move through a process that transforms the raw materials into usable products. In a similar fashion, in an information system,data are supplied to a system(input), the data are manipulated(processed),and they are transformed into information(output).In its simplest form ,a management information systemed may be depicted by an inputprocessoutput(IPO) model (). An understanding of this model is worthwhile becaue it can be used to represent all in that figure that the MIS, through its processing technology (of collecting, coding,storing,processing,decoding,and reporting), transforms the data ing into an enterprise into usable information.InputsTransforation ProcessOutputsInformationProcessingTechnologyData An InputProcessOutput Medel of a Management Information SystemWe may further enhance our understanding of management information systems by discussing their general function and major elements. These systems exist in most enterprises, whether public or private, primarily to assist management in improving revenues, reducing costs and managing assets. Therefore, improving the performance of an enterprise is the ultimate objective of management infoemation systems not the storage of data, the generation of reports,or even”getting the right information to the right person at the right time.” And MIS can best improve an enterprise’s performance by helping to improve the quality of managerial decisions.Transaction processing (TP), reporting systems(RS), and decisionsupport systems(DSS) are the major elements of a management infortion primary role of TP in an enterprise is the collection, storage,and processing of data i
