Abstract

MIS structure is the conceptual framework that comprises various process components and information com- ponents pertaining to the specific system which could either have an Administrative or Business objectives. The pattern of MIS structure of an organization is affected by its activities and functions. Hence, it signifi- cantly varies from one firm to others operating under the common Industry level considerations. Studying the variation of the MIS structure that exists in the firms of specific Industry focus will help in identifying the perfection and degree of coordination with which each of the business entities are functioning. However, lack of clarity in the design methods of MIS structure both in literature as well as in practice is noted and hence, an effort is made in this work to define the design methods for MIS structure. A qualitative research framework comprising the initial reference position established on the previous studies is the methodological approach followed in the work. A model is developed as an outcome of this work and it will act as the check list towards designing MIS structure for any group of firms operating under common Industry level considerations. This understanding helps in mapping the best breed of process models for the Industry and thus, a standard can be established towards the creation of best practice software like ERP systems.

Keywords: MIS Structure, ERP System, Best Breed of Process Models, Design Methods and Qualitative Research.
