Management Information Systems in Applebee's & Dominos Pizza
Introduction:
The management information system (MIS) has a primary task of helping an organization become and stay efficient and effective. Managers use this computer-based system to organize, analyze, and execute plans to help the organization flow and accomplish its goals. The system can be used to study information in the form of employees, cost, profit, tecknology, procedures and documents.
Often MIS are much different from standard information systems because they study other information systems that are related to the operational tasks in an establishment. It is highly important for an organization to understand what MIS they need in order to remain competitive in the industry. Secondly, it is important for an organization to have a MIS which will promote both short term and long term organization goals. The improvement of technology over the years has allowed managers to make faster decisions based on the information that is collected by the system. However, this is also a negative aspect to the information systems. Situations can happen where imprecise reporting can take place thus leading to terrible decision making.
MIS can vary from one type of business to another however; the main goal of all systems is to support organizational goals and objectives and to develop greater level of communication among all the employees. Creators of MIS must keep in mind to create systems that are relievable, accurate, complete, relevant and consistent.
In this research paper, I will discuses the MIS used in two different restaurants “food chains” “Dominos Pizza & Applebee’s”. I intend to showcase the MIS used to help the two restaurants accomplish day-to day business activities. In each restaurant the ambiance, purpose and atmosphere is different. We can see why the two MIS are different and why it’s more appropriate for one MIS to belong in one restaurant and not the other.
