 Study of networks of hardware and software that people 
and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create, and 
distribute data. 
 Study bridges business and computer science using the 
theoretical foundations of information and computation to 
study various business models. 
 Aims to support operations, management and decision 
making . The term is used to refer not only to 
the information and communication technology (ICT) that 
an organization uses, but also to the way in which people 
interact with this technology.

performance of business processes
 Different types of Information Systems are:- 
 Office Information Systems 
 Transaction Processing Systems 
 Business Information Systems

above what is happening in all 
important areas without 
management effort.

environment

 Interview all senior managers to determine 
what data they think is most important. 
 List the major objectives in the short- and 
long-term plans and identify their information 
requirements. 
 Ask the executives what information they 
would least like for their competition to see. 
 Determine what information from current 
management reports is being used by the 
executives.

Problem faced by command general at Persian gulf 
war 
 The Second Marine Aircraft wing had to plan its 
activities in a fast-changing political and military 
environment. 
 The commanding general and his staff of about 
110 needed large amounts of information, such as 
personnel availability, logistics status, and weather 
conditions and forecasts. 
 Getting all this information via telephones and 
paper reports was a slow and possibly inaccurate 
task.
 Using RediMaster (from American 
Information Systems), a local area 
network, and information downloaded 
from a mainframe or PCs, and EIS was 
constructed that could provide the 
commanders with the needed information 
in seconds. 
 The EIS included e-mail, a calendar, word 
processing, a spreadsheet, graphics 
software, and anything else that could be 
used to support commanders.
 supports business or organizational decision 
making activities. 
 DSSs serve the management, operations, and 
planning levels of an organization (usually mid 
and higher management) and help to make 
decisions, which may be rapidly changing. 
 Decision support systems can be either fully 
computerized, human or a combination of 
both. 
While academics have perceived DSS as a tool 
to support decision making process, DSS used 
as a tool to facilitate organizational processes.
