Abstract
Through this study, an endeavour has been taken to emphasize on the need of the management information systems (MIS) in Jamuna Fertilizer Company Limited
(JFCL), especially to identify the potential areas wherein the MIS could be effectively used. Management information system (MIS) or computer information system
(CIS) consists of five related components: hardware, software, people, procedure, and collections of data. The term information technology (IT) represents the various types of hardware and software used in information systems, including computer and networking equipments.
There is some lacking in business solving networking system like MIS/CIS/IT in the JFCL. Main barriers are a lack of leadership, motivation and shortage of skill manpower to implement MIS in JFCL.
