DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR DECISION MAKING

Abstract

Management Information Systems (MIS) play a pivotal role in modern organisations by transforming raw operational data into structured, actionable information that supports effective managerial decision-making at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. This paper presents a comprehensive design and analysis of an MIS framework tailored for organisational decision-making, examining its architectural components, functional modules, implementation challenges, and measurable impact on decision quality and speed. The study employs a mixed-methods research design combining a structured survey of 100 respondents across managerial levels with secondary analysis of MIS performance literature. Primary data was gathered through a validated 30-item questionnaire administered to managers in ITenabled service organisations in Hyderabad. Findings indicate that MIS implementation reduces average decision time by 66.3%, improves decision accuracy by 24.4%, and achieves a strong positive correlation (r = 0.876) between MIS usage frequency and decision speed. Key barriers including inadequate training, resistance to change, and poor data quality are identified, with targeted recommendations for overcoming adoption challenges. The study concludes that a well-designed MIS architecture significantly enhances organisational intelligence, managerial effectiveness, and competitive responsiveness.
