and is flexible, both internally and externally”.
G. B. Davis defines management information system as
“an integrated man/machine system for providing

MIS is set up by an organization with the prime objective
to obtain management information to be used by its
managers in decision making. Thus, MIS must perform the
following functions in order to meet its objectives.
1. Data Capturing

system
1. Data Processing: 1950s-1960s
2. Management Reporting: 1960s-1970s
3. Decision support: 1970s-1980s
4. Strategic and End User Support: 1980s-1990s
5. Global Internetworking: 1990s-2000s

10. Types of Information
Systems
There are six types of information systems:
1. Office Information System
2. Transaction Processing System
3. Management Information System
4. Decision Support System
5. Executive Information System
6. Expert System

11. Office information
system
An office information system, or OIS, is an
information system that uses hardware, software and
networks to enhance work flow and facilitate
communications among employees.
An office information system, also described as office
automation; employees perform tasks electronically
using computers and other electronic devices,
instead of manually.

12. Transaction processing
system
A transaction processing system (TPS) is an information
system that captures and processes data generated
during an organization’s day-to-day transactions.
A transaction is a business activity such as a deposit,
payment, order or reservation. Clerical staff typically
performs the activities associated with transaction
processing.

13. Management
information system
Management information systems often are integrated
with transaction processing systems to:
• Extract and summarize data from TPSs
• Allow managers to monitor & direct the organization
• Provide accurate feedback
• Provide pre-specified reports on a scheduled basis

14. Decision support
system
An interactive information system that provides
information, models, and data manipulation tools to
help make decisions in semi-structured and
unstructured situations.
A sales manager, for example, might need to determine
how high to set yearly sales quotas based on increased
sales and lowered product costs.

15. Executive information

A special type of DSS, called an executive information
system (EIS), is designed to support the information
needs of executive management.
• Use both internal and competitive information

captures and stores the knowledge of human experts
and then imitates human reasoning and decision-
making processes for those who have less expertise.

24. Conclusion
An information system(IS) is typically considered to be a
set of interrelated elements or components that
collect(input), manipulate(processes), and
