Dear participants, you are welcome to this Module on Management Information Systems.  In this module, we shall focus on management information systems and the role they play in organizations.

The module provides theoretical, analytical and practical skills to understanding management information systems.  The module is made up of seven units.  It is centred around the fundamental premise that the primary role of information technology is to provide organisations with strategic advantage by facilitating problem solving, increasing productivity and quality, increasing speed, improving customer service, enhancing communication and collaboration and enabling business process restructuring. In addition, the module will expose participants to debates on current issues in business information management and to create an awareness of the usefulness and limitations of information systems in organisations.
