A Management Information System (MIS) in an organisation is best described as:

An MIS is a system that collects, processes and presents information in timely, usable form so managers can plan, control and decide. It is not a network device, statutory register or word processor; its purpose is decision support across the organisation.

  1. AA system that collects, processes and presents information in a timely and usable form to support managerial planning, control and decision-makingCorrect
  2. BA network device that connects computers within a single building
  3. CA statutory register that every company must maintain under company law
  4. DA software used only for typing and formatting documents

Explanation

An MIS gathers data, processes it into information and delivers it to managers at the right time for planning, control and decisions. The other options describe a LAN device, a statutory register and a word processor, none of which is the concept of MIS.
