Top 6 Types of Organization Information (MIS)
1. Descriptive Information:
This facilitates the decision makers with
a picture of the world with which he is concerned.
This can be divided into number of sub
categories:
(A) Description of rules
(B) Description of the state of
organization
(C) Description of changes
(A) Description of rules:
These are the command or instructions
that cause action to be taken. They comprise part of the formal system in an
organization, although they are not always interpreted literally.
(B) Description of the state of
organization:
This category describes the typed the
information held in files and database. Although this information may be viewed
as representation of this information of the real world, it may not always be a
cost i.e., inventory level may not reflect actual holding. A cost position from
casebook may not always reflect recent adjustments.
(C) Description of changes:
These describe change usually reflected
in transactions, i.e., a change in pay roll system.
2. Probabilistic Information:
Information under this category is
generally based on statistical inference, projections or assumptions about
behaviour. Planning data fell into this category. Investment decisions are
based on it. Often this information is derived from models that of approximate
the real world mathematically.
3. Explanatory and Evaluated Information:
This is the background knowledge used by
managers to understand what is going on around them. The format MIS might
provide a proportion of this personal communication and experience supplement
it. Again, these may be sub categories, because of the introduction by a
competitor of an affective product.
4. Judgmental Information:
These types of information generally
include the opinion of the subordinates.
5. Information about Values, Attitudes and Power:
This is related to people’s values and
affixed to word a job. Difficult to include in formal MIS.
6. Unexpected Information:
A formal MIS may be unable to cope up
with this aspect. When user describes how they arrive at certain decisions they
may describe only the routine aspects of the situation. Propaganda must be
recognized that the polluted forces are active in all organizations.
People try to influence others’ behaviour
by selecting, manipulating, or cancelling information. The availability of
information may represent power in a bargaining situation. This information may
make it difficult for a system designer to come up with a responsive data.
