Introduction

Management Information Systems (MIS) are a set of computer systems that contain both software and hardware and act as the backbone of an organization's operations. Organizations acquire information from a variety of online systems using management information systems. In addition, with the help of this system, the data is analysed, and the results enable the management make better decisions. The use of Management Information Systems aims to improve decision-making by providing up-to-date and relevant data on a variety of assets owned by the organisation, including inventory, personnel, financials, manufacturing, project timelines, marketing, real estate, research and development, and raw materials. A number of Management Information System parameters have been explored and analysed in this project.

 

Question 1: Conduct a search on the Web for Mobile Applications. Give examples of three Mobile Applications and what business functions they may support and how do they improve operational efficiency, decision making and solve business problems?

Ans: Smart phones are capable of performing a wide range of functions. For a substantial portion of their operations, modern firms rely on smart phones and other smart gadgets (Wang et al. 2016). GE Mobile Enterprises is one of the most well-known companies that offers application development services to companies that use the Android or iOS platforms. GE Mobile Enterprises provides a wide range of services and solutions, including

 

 

Question 2: Distinguish between data and information using an Information System example. Describe the organizational, management, and technology dimensions of Information Systems.

Ans: The phrases "data" and "information" are barely distinguishable. A set of details, facts, or evidences can be referred to as data. Individualist chunks of data rarely provide valuable information, therefore information refers to the process of putting the data into context. To put it another way, in order for data to change into information, it is necessary to put the data into context by identifying and combining key pieces of data.

 

Question 3: Describe the features of the system you have chosen and explain reasons behind your choice for the above problem?

Ans: The organisation can afford the flow of information and materials without the need for an integrated information system because there is only one industrial entity present and the warehouses are relatively close together in a radius of 150 kilometres. Similarly, a sales role does not necessitate the use of an integrated information system. Currently, the most critical process that requires the use of an information system is the procurement procedure from the overseer's supplier (which accounts for nearly a third of all obtained goods) and others. The suppliers are separate parties, and because they are separated by a greater distance, the establishment of an information system will aid the organisation in better managing purchasing procedures by centralising them on a single platform. This

 

 

Question 4 Describe the main input, processing, and output of the UPS’s package tracking system. Describe the system’s 3 dimensions (management, organization, and technology).

Ans: The UPS Package Tracking system's basic inputs are delivered in the form of a scannable barcode that serves their intended purpose. The coded information is represented on the packages by the bars on the top. These bars hold data from a variety of systems. These tell the seller or receiver about the package's quality and information about the product within the package. Because of the coded information in the shape of bars, the

 

 

Question 5: Answer the following questions:

a)  Suggest three examples of using RFID for at least three different business purposes.

Answer: RFID, or Radio Frequency Identifications, technology allows for automated identification in a similar way to barcodes, with the

 

 

b) Describe the geographic information systems (GIS).

Answer: The amplification of data that occurs within Geographic Information Systems allows users to detect the explicitness of every procedure entailed within the trail of data that project managers must comprehend in order to evaluate the extent to which these processes succeed and how these processes collide with one another.

 

 

(c )Define the three primary components of a comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) system.

Answer: Customer Relationship Management systems allow businesses to successfully manage the customer lifecycle, which includes operations such as marketing, sales, and service, all of which are critical to a company's growth and profitability. The capacity for organisations to create comprehensive histories of clients should be a vital component of any CRM system, as it promotes sales and productivity. With a single

 

 

Question 6 ( a) Compare and interpret these numbers in relation to the abovementioned numbers.

Answer: According to reports published by We Are Social and Hootsuite in the financial year 2018 Global Digital Suite, over 4 billion individuals around the world have begun to use the internet. This population makes up nearly 56% of the world's population. Africa has experienced the fastest growth in internet penetration.

 

 

(b ) Discuss what the new numbers’ change mean for globalization and possible arising opportunities, taking into account Porter’s 5 competitive forces and 3 competitive strategies.

Answer: Porter's Five Forces model is a very effective management tool that organisations use to assess the underlying inherent and extrinsic factors that influence industry profitability and attractiveness.

In recent years, this model has received a

 

 

 

 

 

Question 7 (a) Ethical concerns associated with storing and analysing user data?

Answer : Data mining provides a number of advantages, but it also has certain disadvantages. Data is obtained from a variety of sources and then merged, which may result in the disclosure of information that people consider private. This may reveal information that was not provided voluntarily in some circumstances.

 

 

b) Security threats, challenges and vulnerabilities that face this Web site and how to minimize them.

Answer: Hacking, defacing many websites, data breaches, virus binding to photos, and black hole bug exploitation are currently the most important security risks, problems, and vulnerabilities that online businesses confront. Secure Hosting, PCI Compliance, SSL Encryption, Sensitive Data Storage, Security Layers, and DDoS Protection and Mitigation Service are the most critical security elements that must be integrated with security systems. The bandwidth is predicted to be involved in security hosting in terms of properly maintaining traffic on E-

 

 

Question 8: Answer the following questions:

a) Explain the benefits of online analytical processing (OLAP) for business.

Answer. In the corporate world, OLAP provides a lot of advantages and benefits. The data maintenance process has been rather quick and efficient. The OLAP provides a dimension of business-focused multidimensional data architecture (Ul-Ain et al. 2019). The computations that these do are business-oriented,

 

 

b) Discuss Cloud Computing in terms of fuelling open innovation.

Answer: One of the key advantages of cloud computing has been open innovation. It has been discovered that

 

c) Distinguish between the traditional File Organisation (or Flat files) and DBMS.

Answer: When compared to the Traditional File Organization, the amount of space needed by DBMS service machinery is significantly smaller. Within a DBMS, it has been noticed that newer models can be constructed to meet

 

 

 

d) Explain the connection between the Firm, its IT Infrastructure and Business Capabilities

Answer: The collection of operations that they do are dependent on and control the firm. This necessitates the development of
