Essentials of Management Information Systems

Abstract

This first chapter deals with some essentials of Management Information Systems. The main concern here is, from the corporate perspective, on a broader interpretation over time, and it may be necessary to know before proceeding to the purchase of a new MIS how the actual implementation and uptake of the new system will look like. The chapter also elaborates on a non-exhaustive list of key issues that are relevant and connected with the notion of a Management Information System. The author also makes a quite interesting examination of a business case dealing with the introduction of an MIS to support independent film makers.
