A management information system perform four basic functions.
a)
Collection of data from a variety of sources: This means obtaining
facts such as records of day today transactions either by observation or
research from both external and internal source.
b)
Sufficient organization of data†Accessing and storing data in
database: A database is an organized collection of data for instruction.
An ordinary handwritten address is example of a simple manually
datable.
c) Data procession into information upon
which to be used by management. Data is stored analyzed, compared,
calculated and generally, worked onto producing messages in the form
required by the managers, which form required by the manager, which is
then termed information.
d) Presenting data in a
meaningful and useful form. This could be means of various kinds of
reports including statistical reports such as sales analysis and control
information such as variance reports.
However, owning to the fact
that organization has grown in size, the information flow has become so
voluminous that face to face communication and even writer memoranda can
no longer effect adequate communication or effective processing of
data. The management information system of these organization have in
recent times found it difficult to meet with the increasing demand being
made on it for information as a result, the manual means of operation
is jam-packed with scores of data to be processed. Hence delay and
inaccuracies in data collection and analysis. Also there is problem of
misappropriation of important document of files or even cases of Stolen
Files.
These lapses amongst others parts a question mark on the
manually assisted management information system hence solution have been
sought in the introduction of mechanization with particular reference
to the use of computer.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
In
recent years, technology change have been introduced by many
organizations. One of such is the advent of computers and it is being
adopted by managers in many organization to help increase efficiency and
output, to provide greater consumer and consumer satisfaction and to
improve the management information system by manipulation, processing
and distribution of data and other problem that in previous IMS were
attended with difficultly.
Investigation has shown that before the
introduction of computers in the management information system (MIS) in
the department of NITEL Plc Enugu the manually operated management
information system in vogue then indicated lapses, which often beat the
imagination on matters, consequently, the processes of decision making
was almost reduced to grass root due to the essence of the effective and
enduring information effective and enduring information storage and
retrieval system. This affected the general productivity of NITEL Plc
Enugu.
However with the computerization of the management information
system (MIS) in Nitel, not only was the problem of competence in
decision making eradicated but also information storage and retrieval
system become effectively and efficiently fit. But has NITEL Plc been
fairly and well improved with the computerization of its management
information system.
The researcher seeks to know the impact of
computerization of the management information in Nitel on profitability
level of the organization.
