                        Focus of MIS 3510 on Operations
                  • MIS 3510 has been mostly about information systems (IS) for operations 
                    support (transactions). These are Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) and 
                    Management  Information Syste4ms (MIS)
                  • Operations are important as they make 80% of organizational activities, 
                    carry out operations, and assist in short-term decision making (supervisory 
                    & mid-level management)
                                                                  Query output

                 • Decision Support Systems (DSS) support higher level management 
                 • Primary users are professionals (business analysts) on behalf of 
                    higher level managers (secondary users)
                 • DSS went through technology stages
