Question 4

Name and describe the four most common types of computer-based information systems.

Accepted Answer

Transaction processing system (TPS) records day-to-day transactions, such as customer orders, bills, inventory levels, and production output. The TPS helps supervisors by generating databases that act as the foundation for the other information systems. The management information system (MIS) summarizes the TPS output in standard reports for middle-level managers. Such reports might include weekly sales and production schedules. The decision support system (DSS) provides a flexible tool for analysis. The DSS helps middle-level managers and others in the organization analyze a wide range of problems, such as the effect of events and trends outside the organization. Like the MIS, the DSS draws on the detailed data of the transaction processing system. The executive support system (ESS), also known as the executive information system (EIS), is an easy-to-use system that presents information in a very highly summarized form. It helps top-level managers oversee the company's operations and develop strategic plans. The ESS combines the internal data from the TPS and the MIS with external data.
