2、tages: the word of management information system (mis) appeared in the 1960s first, university professor, g.b.davis of management college, minnesota of u.s.a., lead colleague of him begin further investigation, the mis of field. the appearance of the mis, has brought the revolutionary change to mana

3、gement in the future, people can not imagine todays status and function in the business activities of all organizations of the mis at all at that time, especially the development at full speed of the technology of the computer with science and technology, the mis, this discipline, is being perfected

15、 seat, can deposit and withdraw 600000 passenger fly the record, but it cant tell people further detailed information, still belongs to primary stage of the mis. even so, the application in data processing of the computer, has promoted the development of computer hardware and software greatly, and t

16、hen has promoted the development of industry of the whole computer. the first data processing language cobol (common business oriented language) in the world is the birth this period.from the sixties to the seventies, this was that the mis developed the most important period. during the time in the

17、past 20 years, the mis is no matter from the theory, have all made the basic achievement from the respect of practising. begin forming and application for the mis of representatives with the real-time process system, the essential feature of this kind of system carries on comparatively comprehensive

18、 data processing to the information content of a certain limit, can offer information in good time, to such information as the picture, characters, sound, chart, etc., adopt the file or the text way to carry on inputting, processing, and transmitting of information. in the seventies, the western dev

19、eloped country represented by u.s.a. began extensive study and application to the mis, as what has been studied is deepened constantly, people not merely expect to it that there is break-through of quantity in data processing, and expect even more in the respect of the quality, namely there is a new

20、 content in overall management of information. an overall but huge production status information is reported to systematic copics and developed successfully by ibm, this system is including designing and producing the data management subsystem, users order subsystem, predict subsystem, main producti

35、information management has already become key technology of supporting enterprises. the 1990s were the times that the mis was developed rapidly, such advanced persons as erp, mrpii, jit, opt, etc. produced the office procedure to combine with the mis closely, become ripe on behalf of modern enterpri

36、se gradually in management, modern the mis whether concept of the mis of information age take shape gradually. since later stage of the 1990s, the concepts of knowledge economy and information management have already been accepted by people, and begin application in enterprises with better foundatio

45、研究只有四十几年的时间，作为一个新兴学科，它的发展历程大致经历了以下几个阶段：管理信息系统（management information systems, mis）一词最早出现在六十年代，美国明尼苏达大学管理学院g.b.davis 教授率领他的同仁们开始了管理信息系统领域的深入研究。管理信息系统的出现，给日后的管理工作带来了革命性的变化，那时人们根本想象不到今天的管理信息系统在所有组织的经营活动中的地位和作用。随着科学技术、特别是计算机技术的飞速发展，管理信息系统这一学科不断完善，以至于在当今激烈的市场竞争中占有相当重要的地位。信息的使用不是现代社会的专利。妇幼皆知的三国时期诸葛亮“草船借箭”

46、，是天文、地理信息妙用的典范。这样的例子古今中外，比比皆是，只不过那时对信息的理解远不及今天对信息的理解，在信息的处理技术、方法和手段方面也是无法比拟的。任何学科的发展都与当时的社会的、经济的、技术的环境和条件紧密相联。管理信息系统也是一样，在人类进入工业社会以后，出于对生存与发展的需要，人们开始尝试使用更先进的设备和技术处理和使用信息。18世纪末19世纪初，卡片穿孔机的问世，人们感到信息处理的革命时代已经到来，这是计算机出现之前信息处理的飞跃。进入50年代，人类发明了计算机，尽管那时的计算机与我们今天的计算机无法相比，但人们还是看到了它在信息处理方面的发展潜力，于是有条件的开始尝试利用它来辅

47、助人们管理自己的业务，用计算机代替人工处理大量的数据。今天看来，管理信息系统就是从这时开始真正走进人们的生活。称得上管理信息系统最早、应用效果最好的系统应该是edp，即我们现在称之为电子数据处理系统（electronic data processing）。edp一直使用到九十年代，直到internet普及后才逐渐退出舞台。50年代中期，人们开始认识到随着工业化社会的发展，生产规模和领域不断扩大，生产自动化水平的不断提高，生产和流通量与日俱增，使得与生产有关的信息成倍膨胀，因而管理工作也就越来越复杂。对信息的处理要求及时、准确是所有组织共同的期望。于是在1954年美国的通用电气公司使用计算机进行

48、了最早的计算机工资计算和成本会计计算，这是管理信息系统的早期形态，是edp的代表作。美国是使用计算机进行数据处理的先驱，50年代末在美国近三千台的计算机中，有近80用于数据处理工作，其应用范围非常广泛，包括各种各样的大型企业、服务业、事业机构等等。美国航空公司的sabre预约订票系统就是这个时期edp典型代表，是比前面的工资和成本会计系统先进的系统，这个系统能分配美国任一航空公司、任一航线、任一航班的飞机座位。它设有1008个预约点，分配76000个座位，能存取600000个旅客飞行记录，但它不能告诉人们进一步的详细信息，仍属于管理信息系统的初级阶段。尽管如此，计算机在数据处理方面的应用，极大

49、地推动了计算机硬件和软件的发展，进而推动了整个计算机产业的发展。世界上第一个数据处理语言cobol (common business oriented language)就是在这一时期诞生的。从60年代到70年代，这是管理信息系统发展最重要的时期。在近二十年的时间里，管理信息系统无论从理论方面，还是从实践方面都取得了基础性的成果。以实时处理系统为代表的管理信息系统开始形成和应用，这类系统的基本特征是针对一定范围的信息内容进行较为综合的数据处理，能适时地提供信息，对于图像、文字、声音、图表等信息，均可采用文件或文本方式进行信息的录入、处理、与传输。70年代，以美国为代表的西方发达国家对管理信息系

50、统开始了大规模研究与应用，随着研究的不断深入，人们对其不仅期望在数据处理方面有量的突破，而且更期望在质的方面，即在信息的全面管理方面有新的内容。一个全面而庞大的生产状态信息报告系统copics由ibm公司研制成功，这个系统包括设计和生产数据管理子系统、用户订货子系统、预测子系统、主生产计划于系统、成本及会计子系统、库存管理子系统以及制造活动计划子系统等于多个子系统，分布在企业的各个部门，实时收集信息，提供决策与管理数据。我国在80年代的大多数应用系统基本上属于此类，这类软件基本上实现了管理信息系统的基本思想。这一时期由于管理信息系统的初步应用，将计算机和管理活动紧密结合，使得整个企业形成了一个高度计算机化、高度信息化的组织，极大地改善了企业的运作效率，提高了工作质量。不过人们还只是初步认识到计算机在管理中的作用，只是看到了计算机的速度，没有体会到管理信息系统的真正内涵。于是，学者们一方面针对管理信息系统在实践中的问题进行进一步的研究，另一方面又开始了理论方面的探索。管理信息系统的基本理论和基本概念多是在
