Management information system

A management information system (MIS) is an information system designed to support decision-making, coordination, control, analysis, and visualization of information within an organization. The study of management information systems examines the interplay between people, processes, and technology in an organizational context, encompassing key managerial functions such as planning, controlling, and strategic decision-making.

In a corporate setting, the ultimate goal of a management information system is to increase the value and profitability of the business by providing managers with timely and relevant information for informed decision-making.
