Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The four most common types of computer-based information systems are:

1. Transaction Processing Systems (TPS): These systems are used to record and process day-to-day transactions such as sales, purchases, and inventory movements. They are essential for the operational activities of an organization and are designed to handle large volumes of transactions efficiently.

2. Management Information Systems (MIS): MIS are used by middle and senior management to make strategic decisions. These systems provide reports and summaries of the organization's performance, often using data from TPS. They help managers monitor performance, track progress, and make informed decisions.

3. Decision Support Systems (DSS): DSS are designed to help managers make decisions by providing access to relevant data and analysis tools. These systems often use advanced analytics and modeling techniques to support decision-making processes, such as forecasting, scenario analysis, and optimization.

4. Executive Support Systems (ESS): ESS are designed to provide strategic information to top-level executives to support their decision-making processes. These systems often include high-level summaries and visualizations of key performance indicators and other strategic information to help executives monitor the overall health and direction of the organization.

Each of these information systems plays a critical role in supporting different levels of decision-making within an organization, from day-to-day operations to strategic planning.
