Management
information system (MIS) refers to a computer-based system that provides
managers with the tools to organize, evaluate and efficiently manage
departments within an organization. In order to provide past, present and
prediction information, a management information system can include software that
helps in decision making, data resources such as database, the hardware resources
of a system, decision
support systems, people management and project management applications,
and any computerized processes that enable the department to run efficiently.

As the managers of information and technology
within the organization, MIS professionals bring technology and business
together to deliver information solutions that help organization meet it goals.
Businesses use information systems at all levels of operation to collect,
process and store data. Management aggregates and disseminates this data in the
form of information needed to carry out the daily operations of business.
Everyone who works in business, from someone who pays the bills to the person
who makes employment decisions, uses information systems. (source : http://mays.tamu.edu/info/what-is-mis/ )

Information
System is a combination of information, technology, and people’s activities
using that technology to support operations and management. The term
information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between
people, data, and technology. It is very important to business because it is
where the input, process, and output take place.
If
we talk about information, it means that we also talk about HTML. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the
standard markup language used to create web pages.
It is the basic building-blocks of webpages. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be
used to create interactive
forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics
for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links,
quotes and other items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript
which affect the behavior of HTML web pages. Web browsers
can read HTML files and compose them into visible or audible web pages.
Browsers do not display the HTML tags and scripts, but use them to interpret
the content of the page. (source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML)
Another
things that relate to information are hypertext and hypermedia. Hypertext and
hypermedia refer to web pages and other kinds of on-screen content that employ
hyperlinks. Hyperlinks give us choices when we look for information, listen to
music, purchase products, and engage in similar activities. They take the form
of buttons, underlined words and phrases, and other “hot” areas on the screen.

Hypertext
refers to the use of hyperlinks or links, the pathways between nodes, to
present text and static graphics. However, Hypermedia refers to the
presentation of video, animation, and audio, which are often referred to as
“dynamic” or “time based” content or as “multimedia.” (source: http://www2.iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0037.html).
In other words, hypertext is text with pointers to other text while hypermedia is
a superset of hypertext that might not display a text file, but might display
images or sound or animations, and combines hypertext and multimedia. (source: http://www.rc.au.net/papers/www-0595/wwwhype2.html)
Multimedia
is the field concerned with the computer-controlled integration of text,
graphics, drawings, still and moving images (video), animation, audio, and any
other media where every type of information can be represented, stored,
transmitted and processed digitally. Furthermore, a multimedia application is
an application which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text,
graphics, images, sound/audio, animation and/or video. (source: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/ISE_Multimedia/node10.html)
Multimedia
uses computers to present text, audio, video, animation, interactive features,
and still images in various ways and combinations made possible through the
advancement of technology. It can be accessed through computers or electronic
devices and integrates the various forms together. One example of multimedia
would be combining a website with video, audio, or text images. (source : http://internships.about.com/od/internshipsquestions/g/whatismultimedia.htm)
