Answer:
It is true, that in a management information system, the quality of information is determined by its usefulness to users, and its usefulness determines the success of the information system.
Explanation:
A management information system (MIS) is a computerized and centralized database that collects data from many different resources in the organization. And, then processes and organized the data in a way that would be useful and helpful in making a business decision. These days, for both large and small organization, collection of data and use of technology are so prevalent and these organization collecting the data from their businesses resources daily even hourly such as daily sale, daily expense, hourly wages, etc, and then managing it in a way to make a right business decision. A good MIS in an organization gives a competitive advantage because it turns the data into usable and into helpful information that can be used in making business decisions and strategy and to increase profit.
However, the information quality is based on its usefulness to the user or to the organization. Because if the MIS produces the information that is not useful to the user, the information and use of MIS are useless in the organization because the information that is required in making a business decision is not useful.
If the MIS produces the quality information to its user in making the right business decision and organization or user take the right decision that brings profit to the organization. Then, this use of information determines the success of an information system in an organization.
For example:
In a Bakery, the MIS produce the right information in making decision e.g. MIS produce information to bakery owner that on valentine day, most people buy chocolate. Then, the owner tries to meet the demand for chocolate on valentine's day. Therefore, this is the quality of information and it is determined by its usefulness to the bakery owner and its usefulness determines the success of MIS.
Images help tell a story where describing with words is either too lengthy, or practically impossible. For instance, you could have a map of a location and various arrows and other markings to describe movements of troops during a battle of the civil war. This is one example of many that you could have as an image on a website. Describing the troop movements with words only may be really difficult to do. Plus many people are visually oriented learners, so they benefit with images every now and then. Of course, it's best not to overdo things and overload the site with too many images. A nice balance is needed.
Well I would think all of them in some way. For the first one, students need to collect data (whether it’s mathematical, scientific, etc.) to answer a question. For the second one, they may need to know how much money is in there bank account or they may need to calculate a sale to order the item. For the third one, they may need statistical data to support a position. For the last one, a student could use technological data to be able to solve their problem sorting documents.
Correctness is key. The other ones are optimizations at most. Although I would always include humor... ;-)
