- It details the types of information systems used in organizations, highlighting operational, management, and strategic levels.
- Management challenges associated with integrating diverse systems are discussed.
- The chapter presents a comprehensive overview of Transaction Processing Systems (TPS), Management Information Systems (MIS), Decision Support Systems (DSS), and Executive Support Systems (ESS).
Types of Information Systems
- Operational-Level Systems: Support day-to-day business operations (e.g., transaction processing).
- Management-Level Systems: Provide summaries, reports, and analyses for decision-making (e.g., Management Information Systems).
- Strategic-Level Systems: Support higher-level strategic planning, analysis using internal and external data (e.g., Executive Support Systems).
Four Major Types of Systems
- Transaction Processing Systems (TPS): Basic business systems for the operational level.
- Input: Transactions and events.
- Processing: Sorting, listing, merging, updating.
- Output: Detailed reports, lists, and summaries.
- Users: Operational personnel and supervisors.
- Management Information Systems (MIS): Provide reports and access to company data, often used by middle management.
- Input: Summaries of transaction data and high-volume data.
- Processing: Routine reports and basic models.
- Output: Summary and exception reports.
- Users: Middle managers.
- Decision Support Systems (DSS): Support management level with data analysis for making decisions.
- Input: Low-volume/high-volume data, analytic models and tools.
- Processing: Interactive simulations and analysis.
- Output: Special reports, decision analyses, and responses to queries.
- Users: Professionals and staff managers.
- Executive Support Systems (ESS): Support strategic level decisions, often using external and internal aggregate data.
- Input: Aggregate data from various internal and external sources.
