SUBJECT CODE & NAME-MB0047- MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
Q1.
Professor A. Van Cauwenbergh of Antwerp University,
in a paper presented at the Tenth Anniversary Conference of the European
Institute for Advanced Studies in Management presented four revisions to
traditional Management Theory. In summary, the revisions are:
(1)
The initiative for the renewal and adjustment of the activities of a firm
should come from the different levels in the management hierarchy. “Strategy is
not a privilege of top management”.
(2)
Firms, especially big firms, are incoherent systems (goals of the different
component systems are not simply subdivisions of an overall goal; there are
individual, conflicting goal as well).
Some
of these differences are manifestations of organizational initiative and
vitality. Using information systems and central planning and rule-making to
suppress all differences is destructive to organizations.
(3)
the most vital “fluid” of an enterprise is the aggregate of its entrepreneurial
values. The most fundamental and motivation and control come through these
shared values relative to work, quality, efficiency, etc. Management often
neglects these values and assumes that the collection and dissemination of
information will provide sufficient motivation and control.
(4)
Enterprises are open systems; their structure and operating processes are
determined by their environment. This means organizations must be designed to
continually adjust to the environment.

organisation look forward to the new system or the changes with a sense of
pride
Q4.
There is an information explosion in today’s society. There are lot of
advantages of DBMS like proper maintenance of the data and maintaining
security. Explain the process of data transition using diagram and an example
of your own.
(Writing diagram-2, Own example-3,
Explaining the process-5) 10 marks
Answer.
Process
of data transition
Data that has been processed is
referred to as information. Information helps in analysis and decision making.
It is observed that information is obtained from the data but not all data
produce useful information. Information is useful when it is relevant,
reliable, accurate, up-to-date, timely, complete, intelligent, consistent and
convenient to the recipient. An information system is designed in a way to
process data to a meaningful form, i.e., to accept input, manipulate it in some
way and produce output. DBMS helps in gathering and providing reports. The set
of data that is stored in row and

Wide Web
The World Wide Web is a huge set
of interlinked documents, images and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and
URLs. These hyperlinks and URLs allow the Web servers and other machines that
store originals and cached copies of these resources to deliver them as
required using Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP is
only one of the communication protocols used on the Internet. Web services also
use HTTP to allow software systems to communicate in order to share and
exchange business logic and data.
