The document discusses management information systems (MIS) which use computer hardware and software to collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision making and problem solving within an organization. An MIS manages information through acquiring, using, and discarding data efficiently. It also discusses the differences between data and information, skills required for MIS including computer and information literacy, and various computer-based information subsystems like accounting, management, and marketing information systems. Information specialists that support MIS are also outlined.
