The Planning Phase in Management Information Systems

Abstract

There are several planning processes that must be performed prior to the actual design and the implementation of a Management Information System (MIS). The main functions of a MIS are to meet the needs of the managers and of the organization by gathering data and implementing systems which can be used to make positive, effective decisions. These decisions, in turn, should benefit the company by reducing costs, and improve efficiency (Newell, 1981).
