Management Information Systems
After reading all the links that Mr.
Rudi gave, I conclude that Management Information Systems (MIS) is the study of
people, technology, organizations and the relationships among them. MIS
professionals help firms realize maximum benefit from investment in personnel,
equipment, and business processes. MIS is a people-oriented field with an
emphasis on service through technology. If you have an interest in technology
and have the desire to use technology to improve people’s lives, a degree in
MIS may be for you. (Source: http://mays.tamu.edu/info/what-is-mis/ )
The MIS concentration prepares students to excel
professionally and contribute meaningfully to the knowledge/information economy
of the 21st century. It is the one business concentration that combines
business and technology–exactly what Silicon Valley is all about. That's why
our graduates regularly score the highest starting salaries of all of the
business concentrations and get jobs at great places like Google, Cisco, HP,
Apple and eBay. (Source: http://www.sjsu.edu/isystems/ )
Another system information relates
to technology that we often discuss is multimedia. Multimedia means that computer information can be represented
through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text,
graphics drawings, images) (Source: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/ISE_Multimedia/node10.html ). When we
are talking about multimedia, we also connect it with hypertext and hypermedia.
Hypertext is
inherently nonlinear: it is comprised of many interlinked chunks of self-contained text. Readers are not bound
to a particular sequence, but can browse through information intuitively by
association, following their interests by following a highlighted keyword or
phrase in one piece of text to bring up another, associated piece of text.

Hypermedia is the
generalization of hypertext to include other kinds of media: images, audio
clips and video clips are typically supported in addition to text. Individual
chunks of information are usually referred to as documents or nodes,
and the connections between them as links
or hyperlinks the so-called node-link hypermedia model. The entire
set of nodes and links forms a graph network. A distinct set of nodes and links
which constitutes a logical entity or work is called a hyperdocument; a distinct subset of hyperlinks is often called a hyperweb. (Source:http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/0x)811bc82b_0x0005f59f )
