Mehta Textiles Ltd stores sales data in a database, uses application software to prepare monthly regional performance reports, and its staff review them to revise targets. Which pairing correctly identifies the MIS component with its role?

The staff who read the reports and revise targets are the people component of the MIS, using information to act. The database stores data, application software processes it, and the report is the output, so the other pairings misassign roles.

  2. BApplication software - the physical servers housing data
  3. CStaff reviewing reports - the human (people) component acting on informationCorrect
  4. DMonthly report - the network cabling
