In our first meeting with Dr. Gamboa last week, we discussed about what is our subject, Management Information System (MIS) is all about.



He defined Management as PDOC or Planning, Directing, Organizing, and Controlling. It implies that someone has to be manage, so meaning to say we have the capabilities to work or act independently as what we are doing in our daily routine, such as physical hygiene and other daily tasks .



He also emphasized that we, people cannot be managed because of the reason that each of us has its own feelings and by that no one can control us. We need a good leader that will provide us direction and guidance.




As our exchange of ideas goes on, we learned the components of an Information System (IS)
IS= H.W + S.W + P.W


H.W stands for hardware, S.W for software, and people ware respectively, this components of IS confuse us. It is confusing because people ware is part of the components of the IS wherein people can never be managed.
So, our facilitator throw to us this question, "Is this a correct course description?"

Based on my own opinion, "yes" it is a correct course description because the hardware and software component is just the application of the computer system wherein it is designed to help us in planning and directing organizational operations.

The role of the people ware in that case is not to be managed,but instead people ware is used for the interaction between human and computers. It is also responsible for the transmission and exchange of the data in the computer or vice versa interaction. The main purpose of the people ware is to provide security, operate and manage the important applications stored in the computer.


hmmmmp...
