Abstract

A proper implementation of Management Information Systems (MIS) can improve an organization's performance, productivity, and work efficiently. Three factors are vital in the successful implementation of MIS. These are organization factors, technology factors and management factors. There are several other factors but these three are the most important ones according to observation. All other factors can be incorporated into these three factors. These three main factors work in an integrated and coordinated way. There are several other important sub-factors in each of these three areas. These are also discussed in this paper. Management Information Systems (MIS) play a vital role in decision-making process. Managers can improve their decision-making process with the successful execution of Information Systems.

Summary

Introduction

A large number of organizations cannot operate successfully without the proper implementation of MIS. With the help of MIS, organizations can get the right information to improve the cooperation and intercommunication between institutions’ people (Mamary, Shamsuddin, & Aziati, 2014). MIS enables information to flow between departments immediately, shortening the requirement for direct intercommunications between members, incrementing the performance and effectiveness of the organization (Nath, & Badgujar, 2013). MIS is certainly a major tool in each organization, which intends to bring dependable, thorough, available, and accurate data to system’s user on time. Mechanization significantly improves organizational workflow (Mamary, Shamsuddin, & Aziati, 2014)
