    Question

    A Management Information System (MIS) is an integrated user-machine system for providing information to support decision making functions in an organisation. Which of the following features would lead to an effective MIS?

    A.    Timeliness

    B.    Accuracy

    C.   Detailed

    D. Implicitness

    A A and B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B C and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A, B and C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E A, B and D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    An effective MIS should be timely, accurate, complete, adequate or useful, relevant and explicit. It should be rather brief and accurate and provide explicit information so as to avoid any vague or ambiguous interpretations by the management team. If it is very detailed or implicit, management will have to make efforts to understand the critical information from it, which defeats the purpose of a MIS.
