BACKGROUND OF MIS (Management information system)
Before the concept of management information systems was created, computer scientists were just programmers creating applications for science and math calculations. As computer usage evolved in fields of business and data management, software applications were needed to process nonscientific data. A field of study would be needed to bridge the gap between computer programmers and the business world to create information-based applications for business and networks.
With the advent of computer programs for business applications, it became apparent that the communication gap that existed between computer programmers and business people had to be solved. Business people wanted programmers to come up with the ultimate solution for their problems and programmers had a hard time explaining to management what was possible and what was not, technically, possible.
The solution was to design a course of study which merged information technology, business and computer programming. This field was called, Management Information Systems (MIS). The idea was to create a workforce who could bridge the communication and technical gaps between management and computer programmers.
The first courses were taught in as business courses in select colleges in America. The courses started off as electives in the area of business. As the 1970s closed, colleges and business schools would create full four-year programs designed for studies in the field of management information systems.
