Management Information Systems (MIS) is the study of technology, people, organizations, and the relationships among them (tamu.edu). MIS professionals work in a people concentrated field with a heavy background in technology. They must have good problem-solving skills, the ability to communicate well, and be creative and come up with fresh ideas individually. MIS uses technology to help improve and enhance the lives of others. When I first heard about Management Information Systems I thought of coding, which is something many of us did unknowingly if you used Myspace, but not something I was ever truly interested in. But I now know its much more than that. I do like the aspect of helping others via technology. I’m still trying to figure out what I would like my career to be. This course has brought MIS to my attention and could be something that I could possibly see myself doing, especially being a Business Analyst.

Hey Brittany,
Thank you for answering it in a way that helped it make sense to me. I had a similar mindset coming into the class and agree that there is so much more to MIS than just coding.
