An 'MIS' is a planned system of the collecting, processing, storing and disseminating data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. In a way it is a documented report of the activities those were planned and executed.
I have learned so many things about MIS, like how it is important to our life or in our career. It can help us to make desicion right, make our work easier and how to plan or make strategies. Their are so many strategies that you can use to make your business get success.
Also I able to understand how Information system is very important in every transaction you will do. MIS is very wide subject to understand more or to know more. but for me it is a big help in my future by using what I have learned in MIS even it is a 1 term subject.

Assignment no. 4
1. Effectiveness
Degree to which objectives are achieved and the extent to which targeted problems are resolved. In contrast to efficiency, effectiveness is determined without reference to costs and, whereas efficiency means "doing the thing right," effectiveness means "doing the right thing."
2. Efficiency
Comparison of what is actually produced or performed with what can be achieved with the same consumption of resources (money, time, labor, etc.). It is an important factor in determination of productivity.
3. Productivity
Relative measure of the efficiency of a person, machine, factory, system, etc., in converting inputs into useful outputs. Computed by dividing average output per period by the total costs incurred or resources (capital, energy, material, personnel) consumed in that period, productivity is a critical determinant of cost efficiency.

Assignment no. 1
1. Explain why information system are essentials to business.
Basically, information systems are essential because there is so much data out there that it is more than one person (or even many people) can manage manually. Information systems let you deal with the volume in order to see what is really important for your business.
2. Data VS Information
Data define as: "facts or information to be used as a basis of discussing or deciding something." At the same time information is defined as "facts told or discovered or facts to be fed to a computer". In both definition, data and information are assumed to be one and same concept.
3. What is a system?
A system is a collection of elements or components that are organized for a common purpose. The word sometimes describes the organization or plan itself (and is similar in meaning to method, as in "I have my own little system") and sometimes describes the parts in the system (as in "computer system").
