Management information system is the study of people, technology, and organizations. Management information on system provides information that is needed to manage organizations efficiently and effectively.
Management information system is more holistic than merely computerizing an aspect of a business.
Some people believes that once their organization is computerized, their management problems have been solved, but this is not the truth.
According to Toffler (1990: 7) information technology (MIS) is the new technology or gathering, storing, manipulating and transferring information. Davis (1974: 15) in his own view stated that a definition of management information system as the term is generally understood, is an integrated, machine system of providing information to support the operations, management and decon making functions in an organization. Where an organization like Juhel Nigeria Limited, decides to computerize its voucher/pay roll, create a data bank for its labour force and such related subjects, they do not by themselves constitute a management information system.
Management information system is not a new thing in any organization, it has always been there from the time, there are mangers requiring information that enables them to plan, control, and run the operations of their organizations. What is new are the added new advantages and dimension that the computer has provided to the manager in the exercise of his traditional junctions easily and more effectively Modum (1995: 25).
Davis (1994: 26) in line with his, opines that processing support for management and decision functions precede the advent of computers but computers made it feasible.

1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Managers of certain business, especially small scale manage their business intimitively. They are devoid of sound management system which would enable them, monitor effectively and efficiently, operating expenses and possible revenues. They do not heed to the warnings and useful hints communicated by management information system. This ignorance of management information system or lack of it, may lead to the non-effective and efficient accomplishment of the firms objectives.
Information system, generally, constitutes the sole system through which both managers and external users get a clear picture of the organization as a total entity.

This could lead to poor and irrational decisions being taken and also may affect the profitability and performance of the organization.
The organization owing to management constraints or lack of effective planning or ignorance, may not employ needed experts and this causes the effect and importance of management information system on decision making, not to be observed or gained by the organization.
With respect to the above, the research in this study will seek to highlight on this information, management can derive from management information and their usefulness or benefits or lack of it and effect on decision making in business.
