Management Information Systems (MIS) have evolved through 5 eras: (1) Mainframe computing in the 1960s; (2) Personal computers in the 1970s and 1980s; (3) Client/server networks and the creation of the World Wide Web in the 1980s and 1990s; (4) Enterprise computing systems of the 1990s; and (5) Cloud computing today. The Department of Education in the Philippines has transitioned from paper-based data collection, to early computerized systems in the 1970s-1980s, to a fully computerized management information system today.

Fifth Era
A few years before he died, management
guru Peter Drucker proclaimed the most important
contribution management must make in the 21st
century is to increase the productivity of the
knowledge worker by abandoning the command-
and-control management style of the 20th century
and accepting the inevitability of employee
autonomy.
