information system (MIS) plays a crucial part of infrastructure in the field of information
technology. Though both the information system and management information system work
together to facilitate the IT infrastructure of an organization but there are still some difference
can be observed between the Information system (IS) and the Management Information
System (MIS).
Information System (IS)
The information system is the management methodologies which supports the day-to-

computers, and software ( Laudon & Laudon, 2015). The information system is unique for
each organization as the operational requirements are unique and varies from organization to
organization.
Management Information System (MIS)

system. The MIS is more relevant as a subset because helps in delivering and securing the
information which guides the operational managers to make strategic, operational and
proactive decisions (Stair & Reynolds, 2013. In most of the cases such data comes from the
external sources of the organization like real time sales data from the retailers and the
suppliers.
Research areas which can be improved by the Management Information System are:
i) Data science and Computational Method
ii) Intelligence System and Optimization
