Questions and Answers

What are the goals of Transaction Processing Systems (TPSs) and provide examples of activities automated by TPSs?

The goals of TPSs are to automate repetitive information processing activities, increase speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Examples of TPS activities include payroll, sales and ordering, inventory management, purchasing, receiving, shipping, and accounts payable and receivable.

Explain the characteristics of operational, managerial, and executive information systems as mentioned in the text.

Operational information systems deal with day-to-day decisions and structured tasks. Managerial information systems cover decisions over weeks and months and are semi-structured. Executive information systems involve long-term, unstructured decisions at the top level of an organization.

Describe the types of reports generated by Management Information Systems (MISs) and their significance.

MISs generate scheduled reports, key-indicator reports, exception reports, drill-down reports, and ad hoc reports. Scheduled reports provide regular information, key-indicator reports highlight important metrics, exception reports identify deviations from norms, drill-down reports provide detailed data, and ad hoc reports are customized as needed.
