Abstract Universities have long recognized the need for a well designed management information system. to help provide the highest possible standards of education with the least cost. This research views the university as a production system in which the process of producing services is taken place. In such a system, students (material), staff (manpower), and facilities ( equipment) are treated as an input. This input is transformed, hopefully, to well educated graduates as an output by means of teaching , training, and performing research. To successfully operate such a system, a management system has been structured basically around the planning, analysis, and control functions. This has lead to the identification and classification of the various decisions at each administrative level. Successful management of such a system requires a careful design of an information system. Because the flow of information must be dealt with, the conceptual integrated university management information system is composed of two Subsystems: (1) an academic information system which deals with the direct student care (education and welfare). |
