Management Information Systems

In this unit, you have learned about management information systems (MIS) and  the importance of it. For this assignment, compose a paper that discusses the    key differences between data, information, information technology (IT), and     information systems (IS). Your paper should address the components listed     below.

Define what is meant by information.

Define what is meant by data.

Create two matrices (one for data and one for information) that                 illustrate the key differences between information and data, place the                 matrices into your paper, and briefly discuss the differences in     one or   two           paragraphs. Each matrix should contain characteristics     and/or   facts  about   the       subjects (data and information) that   show   how they   are     different.

Define IT.

Define IS.

Using the five-component model as an example, discuss some                 differences between IT and IS. 

If you are using Microsoft Word, you can develop a matrix using this program.  For an example of how to create a matrix using Microsoft Word, see the     Microsoft.com explanation by clicking the link below.

You may use another computer software program that you are familiar with to    create the matrices. However, you must submit your assignment in a Microsoft     Word document, and the matrices should be included in the body of your     paper.

Your paper must be a minimum of two pages in length (not counting the title    and reference pages), and you must use at least two resources as references.     Any  information from these resources must be cited and referenced in APA     format.
