Management Information System

Management:

• how do you use information in managing a business


• how does new information technology affect management


• how do the new ways of thinking drawn from information technology affect management


• management in an economy based on information

Information:

• how do you manage information


• what kinds of information do we want to manage


• how does our information handling technology affect what we do with information

Systems:

• we think of computer-based systems and electronic information handling


• many computer-based systems are rationalized non-computer information systems


• two key questions arise from this


• what difference does it make to computerize and rationalize


• what are the computer-based models, and how are they different from other management models


• thus we have three components to systems:


• technology component (what information handling is available)


• knowledge management component (what non-computer systems do we have)


• metaphor component (how does the computer make a difference)

There are two parts of course First, we look at information technology, because MIS is really about how electronic information handling affects business management .

Look first at components of information management technology

• Understand basic technology enough to make reasonable decisions


• Realize what information technology does for you, and to you


• By using information technology, you learn to think differently about job


• Important to select and implement information technology intelligently


• Information functions should not be left to technical people alone

Management Information System

Management Information Iystems (MIS) are information systems (A business application of the computer. It is made up of the database, application programs and manual and machine procedures. It also encompasses the computer systems that do the processing), typically computer-based, that are used within an organization. An information system is "a system consisting of the network of all communication channels used within an organization". A management information system may also be defined as "a system that collects and processes data (information) and provides it to managers at all levels who use it for decision making, planning, program implementation, and control." An information system is comprised of all the components that collect, manipulate, and disseminate data or information. It usually includes hardware, software, people, communications systems such as telephone lines, and the data itself. The activities involved include inputting data, processing of data into information, storage of data and information, and the production of outputs such as management reports.

Islam and Knowledge

Islam is a religion based upon knowledge for it is ultimately knowledge of the Oneness of God combined with faith and total commitment to Him that saves man. The text of the Quran is replete with verses inviting man to use his intellect, to ponder, to think and to know, for the goal of human life is to discover the Truth which is none other than worshipping God in His Oneness. The Hadith literature is also full of references to the importance of knowledge. Such sayings of the Prophet as "Seek knowledge even in China", "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave", and "Verily the men of knowledge are the inheritors of the prophets", have echoed throughout the history of Islam and incited Muslims to seek knowledge wherever it might be found. During most of its history, Islamic civilization has been witness to a veritable celebration of knowledge.

How can we become Muslim

How can we become Muslims in the true sense of the word? First let’s define what a Muslim is. A Muslim is not a Muslim simply because he’s born one. A Muslim is a Muslim because he is a follower of Islam, a submitter to the Will of Allah. We’re Muslim if we consciously and deliberately accept what has been taught by the Prophet Muhammad (S) and act accordingly. Otherwise we’re not true Muslims.

Islam a gift

*Islam is our greatest gift. We have to be thankful for this gift. We have to render to Allah His due. Allah has given us so much by making us a part of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (S) so we must totally commit ourselves as followers of the Prophet (S). We must become true Muslims.
**The word “Islam” means submission. The goal of Islam is to bring the world into subjection to its teaching.

Thoughts on Success

*A Successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
*The secret of success in life is for you to be ready for your opportunity when it comes.
*A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.
*If you are clear about what you want, the world responds with clarity.
*Life without risks is not worth living.
*Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.
*You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great.
*Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.
*Success is neither magical or mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
