The Effect Of Management Information System On Organisational Performance

The Effect Of Management Information System On Organisational Performance

Chapter One

Preface

Background Of The Study

It’s a well known fact that the success of any association is dependent on its decision- making capabilities, and decision timber is dependent on timely vacuity of quality information.

An association has deals that must be reused in order to carry out its day- to- day conditioning. The payroll must be prepared, deals and payments on account must be posted; these and others are data processing tasks, but a operation information system performs other tasks as well as is further than a data processing system. It’s an information processing system applying the power of the computer to give information for operation and decision makers( www. Journals, information and organisation).

It’s really hard to imagine an assiduity or business that has not been affected by computer information systems and computer operations. numerous businesses consider operation of their information resource to be equal to their other crucial coffers parcels, installations, workers and capital. MIS is about assaying and designing information system that fulfills those business conditions.( www. Journals, information and organisation)

“ Wherever people are active and working together in an association, they work out some kind of system without the help of an critic, through these systems, they get effects done ”. similar systems have been set up to be constantly hamstrung and occasionally indeed shy.

operation information system( computer acquainted has evolved to reduce the crunches of the traditional information system).

Statement Of Research Problem

Due to the trends of ultramodern times, the work of directors in associations has come veritably information- ferocious and the terrain in which it’s done is veritably information-rich. serve it to mention that any association without a sound operation information system won’t thrive, it thus becomes material to address the following issues( www. Journals, information and organisation)

1. Does operation information system has any impact on associations performance.

2. Does information system has any impact on association decision making?

Points And Objects Of Study

The major ideal of this exploration/ design is to give applicable information as regards the impact of operation information system on organizational performance and also to add to the bank of knowledge where any analogous write- up- exists.

The ideal could be broken down as follows

Examine whether MIS has any impact on organizational performance.

Determine whether MIS has any impact on operation decision timber.

Compass Of Study

This exploration design will be carried out solely in the oil painting assiduity, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation( NNPC) to be specific.

It’ll be conducted only in Edo- State( Benin City) and will concentrate on information systems of operation( one of the technologies designed to efficiently help operation in collecting and recycling information).

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This exploration( design) is veritably applicable as it’ll give first- hand information on the impact of information system on operation performance in the oil painting assiduity.

1. The Oil Industry( NNPC) Management will be informed as regards how to effectively collect, process, store and circulate data at their disposal. This will lead to growth in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and the oil painting assiduity in Nigeria.

2 The colorful investors( Implicit and Being) will profit also as growth and development in the assiduity would mean growth in their investments.

3. As the assiduity advances due to proper operation of information, it would be easy to discharge its commercial social liabilities, therefore, the society benefits.

4. Government For environmental planning, military planning duty operation, civic planning, rate operation etc. All this can be made possible through operation information systems.

5. The exploration will also salutary to unborn inquiries on this particular area of interest.

6. Where any analogous exploration exists, it’ll add to the bank of knowledge for unborn studies.

Statement Of Suppositions

H0 operation information system has no effect on organizational performance.

HA operation information system has an effect on organizational performance.

H0 Information system has no impact on operation opinions in an association.

HA Information system has an impact on operation opinions in an association.

Limitations Of The Study( Constraints)

Certain factors could conceivably hinder and affect the success of this exploration design. Not enough time, finances, accoutrements , too large a distance to be covered, might not allow for a veritably elaborate study to be conducted. Hence, the study might be of lower meaning compared to its significance in order to save time, cost, trouble and reduce stress, a company in the oil painting assiduity( Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) has been named as a case study.

Exploration Methodology

The system to be used for collecting data for this design shall majorly be deduced from two sources which are the primary and secondary sources.

The introductory instrument for the collection of data shall be questionnaire. It’s hoped that this medium will secure the demanded information with great delicacy and will minimize cost and time.

Description Of Terms

Computer A computer is an electronic device that operates under instruction of stored programmes, accept input( data), process it according to specified rules, produces affair( information) and store the result for unborn use. It could also be seen as an electronic device that accepts data, process data in a specified format and produce result in a specified format. They( computers), work under the influence of stored programmes, automatically accepting, storing and recycling. Data to produce information that’s the result of the processing.(www.wisegeek.com/whatisacomputer.com).

Data This could be defined as raw data and numbers that aren’t meaningful parse and can not be used in making opinions until reused.(www.businessdictionary.com/definition ofDATA.com).

Data Processing Computer receives data as input, carries out manipulation on the data to give result( information) as affair which is used for decision timber. This process is appertained to as data processing. The process of collecting particulars of source data together and converting them into information.(www.answers.com/topic/dataprocessing).

Files Information held on backing storehouse( generally on glamorous discs or glamorous videotapes) in order to enable it to persist beyond the time of extension of a single job and/ or to overcome space limitations in memory.(en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ lines( computer).

tackle These are the physical corridor of the computer system. They comprise of the input unit, system unit and the affair unit. It also includes the storehouse unite.g. memory. They’re corridor which can be seen, felt and touched. exemplifications are keyboard, printer, mouse, examineretc.(www.webopedia.com/hardware.html).

Information This can be defined as data reused for a purpose. It’s simply data reused to have a particular meaning, applicability and operation within a specific environment. Kenneth and Norwich( 2003). Davis( 197485), defined information as data that have been held into a form meaningful to the philanthropist and perceived precious in current or prospective opinions.

Information Technology The practical operation of wisdom in colorful fields of literacy, in transferring data or data or information from one place to another. In relation to association, information technology can be defined as the practical operation of wisdom in the product of goods and services in an assiduity.(www.webopedia.com/informationtechnology.html).

MIS An “ MIS ” is a planned system of collecting, recycling, storing and propagating data in the form of information demanded to carry out the functions of operation. It’s a computer grounded system that optimizes the collection, transfer and donation of information throughout an association by using an intertwined structure of data bases and information inflow. O’Brien( 1999), Long and Long( 2004).

Records A record is a collection of data handled together in transfer to and from supplemental bias. It’s also a collection of affiliated fields describing an event or item or sale.(Database.about.com/./records.html).

Software These are the instructions which the computer system( tackle) follows to carry out a particular task. They’re made up of series of programmes, hence, they’re programmes which drive the tackle.(www.webopedia.com/software.html).
