Management Information Systems
Chapter 1: Information Systems in Global Business Today
Functions of an Information System
An information system
contains information about an
organization and its
surrounding environment.
Three basic activities—input,
processing, and output—
produce the information
organizations need. Feedback
is output returned to
appropriate people or activities
in the organization to evaluate
and refine the input.
Environmental actors, such as
customers, suppliers,
competitors, stockholders, and
regulatory agencies, interact
with the organization and its
information systems.
