Abstract
This study examines management information systems and discusses how systems in a governmental system differ from those used in the private sector. Further, the paper hypothesizes that management information systems in government are much more complex and take longer to create than other management information systems because of the inherent difficulties in thoroughly protecting sensitive data from those that should not have access to it. The paper recommends how to best set up a management information system for the government.

From the Paper
"Management information systems in government is an issue that has been studied for quite some time, because much of what is learned changes with the changing and evolving technology that is so prevalent in today's society. It is important to note, however, that government is only one small segment of the population and that management information systems are important in many other areas as well. Those that are involved with management information systems often know a great deal about computers and just as much about business, as the two tie together to form competent individuals in this area that can set up almost any kind of management information system for whatever type of business requests it."

Abstract
This paper states that the hypothesis of this study, which is that management information systems in government are much more complex and take longer to create than other management information systems because of the inherent difficulties in thoroughly protecting sensitive data from those that should not have access to it; therefore, they are underutilized or not utilized correctly, more often than not, and management does not understand what the end users of these systems really need. The author points out that there are two important key issues: (1) how the technology is used within and between organizations and (2) how these management information systems can be utilized to help manage and achieve the goals that these governmental agencies. The research methodology will include surveys of end users, middle management, management information systems managers, and top management to compare what they think about how well the technology works and to help determine their congruency on the future of the technology.

Summary
From the Paper
"There are many differences between computing and management in the public sector and the private sector and this often has an impact not just on the way that things are done and the politics of a particular organization but on the decisions that are made and the employment in a particular organization as well. Computing and management information systems in government have increased very strongly in the last 15 years or so, but the research on this particular issue has declined steadily. This is an intriguing issue and it is curious why research is so lacking on something that is deemed to be so important."

?In its simplest terms, a Management Information System is a network established within an organization to provide managers with information that will assist them in decision-making (MUKHAPADHYAY and COOPER). A more complete definition would be that a management information system is a system designed to provide selected decision oriented information needed by management to plan, control, and evaluate the activities of the corporation. It is designed within a framework that emphasizes profit planning, performance planning, and controls at all levels.?

From the Paper
"Even though asking these types of questions would not provide everything that might need to be known, the questions would go a long way toward a better understanding of what should be dealt with where management information systems are concerned and what issues the end users might have when it comes to these systems. These questions would also help management understand issues such as whether they are communicating effectively with their employees and whether employees feel as though they can talk to management."
"This may seem unrelated to the issue of management information systems, but employees that do not feel comfortable talking to management about one aspect of their job will likely not feel comfortable talking about any other aspect as well, and therefore the issue of comfort and communication relates to management information systems and many other issues that might relate in some way to the communication level that takes place between management and employees in the course of their jobs."

Abstract
This paper examines the function of computerized management information systems (MIS) and then draws upon the literature to identify the ways in which they are used as a tool for tracking client purchases and profiles, business system operations, inventory management and other record-keeping activities found in virtually all businesses and industries in the contemporary world. It looks at how MIS support the business operations and the management of an organization and how computer and telecommunications systems and technologies have virtually revolutionized the ways in which these organizations function. It uses the financial and securities sector as an illustration of the multiplicity of tools, tasks and functions such systems can perform.
From the Paper
"The innovations in inventory control mark a dramatic departure from the more traditional "FIFO" (first in, first out) and "LIFO (last in, first out) systems that some manufacturing industries used prior to the advent of the compact, affordable computer. Today, few manufacturing concerns of any size are without basic (And increasingly more and more complex) computerized inventory control mechanisms and systems. Many of these programs employs the basic techniques of PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) and Critical Path Method (CPM) to track costs and outputs from beginning through to sale and distribution (Smykay, 1991). Though time-event networks such as PERT and CPM are more often associated with the planning and control of production itself rather than with inventory management and stocking profiles, they can be used in this arena as well. Even the warehousing and stacking of finished goods requires network planning if it is to be efficient."

From the Paper
"Much of the action required to operate and manage inventory levels with this system is back up, verification, and system maintenance. Strict government regulation regarding computerized pricing practices mandate that retailers keep the marked priced on the products as well as maintain the computer database. Managing this dual pricing system is time consuming. Actual inventory levels must be checked against computer records on an ongoing basis in order to ensure proper inventory levels on every item. At a corporate level, this sales and inventory information can be used to determine items to carry, discontinue, feature on special, etc."

Evaluation of SOA in Manufacturing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Global manufacturers are often caught in the dilemma of on the one hand needing to pursue a continual low-price strategy to attain profitability, yet on the other being called upon to increase their agility to respond quickly and accurately to increasingly unique customer requests. Needing to maintain profitability yet also be agile enough in production processes to meet unique customers' requirements forces many manufacturers into a paradox of how to align their Information technologies (IT) initiatives and programs to support both objectives. Manufacturers are resolving this dilemma through the use of SOA architectures and strategies, relying on Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Web Services, XML and its many variants, Business Process Management, and Workflow Management (W3C XML Working group, 2004)."

It also includes a discussion of the application of the concepts of MIS to professional problems and issues. It also provides an examination of the negative and positive aspects of MIS and its impact on distance learning programs. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Today, distance education (Lewis, Alexander & Farris, 1997; Moore & Kearsley, 1996; Steiner, 1995), distance learning (Berge & Collins, 1995; Peterson?s, 1996) distributed learning and nontraditional programs (Duffy, 1997) all refer to the phenomena of learning situations where students and teachers are separated by time, distance, or both time and distance. Voice, video, data, and print are the main categories for disseminating learning at a distance (Gottschalk, 2003). Moore and Kearsley (1996) take a wide view and consider distance education a system wherein teaching, delivery mechanisms, and student learning are some of the interdependent parts of a greater whole."

Abstract
This paper examines various subsystems within organizations, the interrelationships of those subsystems, and how information technology enhances those relationships through management information systems. It gives examples from various subsystems (e.g. corporate culture, power dynamics).
From the Paper
"When analysts speak of companies or organizations they are actually referring to open systems composed of subsystems each of which must function efficiently and effectively if the organization is to survive. Often these subsystems are viewed independent from the larger whole but in fact they are interrelated and interdependent. This interrelationship has become increasingly clear as information technology has emerged that is able to bring together various pieces of data generated in different and disparate subsystems but used by entirely different subsystems..."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how Information Technology is in use in virtually every business today as managers are graded on their ability to handle the flow of information in computer databases. The author contends that one of the most important skills that any business manager will have to have in the foreseeable future is the ability to manage the IT hardware and software now required by business. This paper details the need for integrating IT systems and making them usable for the entire office staff. It describes the role that people play in the system and details several success stories of companies that have introduced IT systems into their company.
From the Paper
"It is barely conceivable that any modern office should not have to work with both the blessings and the perils of Information Technology -- that already-broad term grows each day to include such electronic devices and services as voice mail, e-mail, PCs (or Macs), computer networks. The world of Information Technology (or IT as it has become almost universally known) has become nearly as broad as technology -- or information -- itself. Any manager of even the smallest family-based business in the future will have to come to terms in small measure with the world of IT. In addition to the challenges of facing constantly changing technology, any manager trying to assess and work with IT challenges must also address the fact that the entire idea of IT is broad to the point of vagueness. IT means something at least a little different for everyone who uses it, which makes the job of a manager trying to institute consistent IT policies and practices even harder."

From the Paper
"A critical new facet of business change management has emerged in recent years: the need to keep track of more information, in a broader context then ever before. What is the result when an organisation incorporates a new information system? How does this change affect the operations between people and in production technology? Nadler reports that the implementation of technology in communication between people in business affects rapport, which is described as the feeling of being "in sync" with the other person in the interaction (Nadler, 2002, p.109). The three components to rapport seem to be mutual attentiveness (i.e., my attention is focused on you and your attention is focused on me), positivity (i.e., we are friendly to each other), and coordination (i.e., we are in sync, so that we each react spontaneously to the other)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines present day e-businesses and their ability to form prosperous customer relationships. It looks at the objective and theory behind the business procedure known as customer relationship management, and then it attempts to establish whether e-commerce and customer relationship management, which promised marketers deeper insights into the habits, feelings, likes, and dislikes of customers, have lived up to these promises.
From the Paper
"Internet business-to-business sales will attain approximately $1.3 trillion in 2003 and, in 2004, business-to-consumer sales will attain approximately $100 billion (Lord, 2000). Near 2005, U.S. companies will use $63 billion yearly on online marketing, advertising, as well as Email Marketing (Forrest, E. and R. Mizerski, 2001). The Gartner Group estimates that 75 percent of all e-business schemes will not succeed owing to a deficient in technical perceptive and poor business preparation (Lord, 2000). In spite of the risks, the Internet challenge is fascinating. Flourishing e-businesses in the present day have moved beyond an arm's length transactional observation of their customers to forming prosperous customer relationships."
