About this title

Synopsis:

Management Information Systems (MIS) has fast emerged as a multi-disciplinary area with strategic interfaces to achieve organisational objectives. This comprehensive book discusses the underlying principles of business and development organisations, identifies their core areas and prescribes approaches to develop MIS.

The book is divided into five parts:

• Part I—Understanding Organizations for MIS deals with organisational issues and focuses on the rationale behind creating organisations, especially business and development organisations, to understand their distinguishing features.
• Part II—Systems Approach to Organizations covers conceptualisation, identification, design and development of an Information System (IS) for the organisation in order to have better systems in place to support organisational goals.
• Part III—Understanding MIS discusses the relevance of MIS in organisations and the forms it can take to meet the strategic needs of the respective organisations.
• Part IV—Understanding Information Technologies describes possible approaches to plan, identify and deploy ICT in the acquiring organisations and provides insight into the barriers that creep in during identification and deployment of IS and ICT keeping in view the organisational objectives.
• Part V—Planning and Implementation of MIS concludes with a discussion on preparation of MIS plan and issues related to its implementation.

The book is intended for postgraduate students of management specializing in rural management and IT.
