Following are the key characteristics of MIS:


1. System approach:
MIS follows the system approach, which implies a step by step
approach to the study of system and its performance in the light
of the objective for which it has been constituted. It means
taking an inclusive view at sub-systems to operate within an
organization.
2. Management-oriented:
The management-oriented characteristic of MIS implies that
top-down approach needs to be followed for designing MIS. A
top-down method says the initiation of system development
determines management requirements as well as business
goals. MIS implies the management dynamically to the system
development towards the completion of management decision.
3. As per requirements:
The design and development of MIS should be as per the
information required by the managers. The required design and
development information is at different levels, viz., strategic
planning, management control and operational control. It means
MIS should cater to the specific needs of managers in the
:
hierarchy of an organization.
4. Future-oriented:
The design and development of MIS should also be future
purpose so that the system is not restricted to provide only the
past information.
5. Integrated:
A complete MIS is a combination of its multiple sub-
components to provide the relevant information to take out a
useful decision. An integrated system, which blends information
from several operational areas, is a necessary characteristic of
MIS.
6. Common data flows:
This concept supports numerous basic views of system analysis
such as avoiding duplication, combining similar functions and
simplifying operations. The expansion of common data flow is a
cost-effectively and logical concept.
7. Long-term planning:
MIS should always develop as a long term planning because it
involves logical planning to get success of an organization.
While developing MIS, the analyst should keep future oriented
analysis and needs of the company in mind.
8. Relevant connection of sub-system planning:
The MIS development should be decomposing into its related
sub-systems. These sub-systems must be meaningful with
proper planning.
9. Central database:
it contains data in tabular form. The data base is responsible to
operations like insertion, deletion, updation of records. This
database covers information related to inventory, personnel,
vendors, customers, etc. the data stored in the database.
