60、><p>　　20世紀(jì)，隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的蓬勃發(fā)展，眾多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家紛紛提出了新的管理理論。20世紀(jì)50年代，西蒙提出管理依賴于信息和決策的思想。同時(shí)期的維娜發(fā)表了控制論，他認(rèn)為管理是一個(gè)控制過(guò)程。1958年，蓋爾寫到：“管理將以較低的成本得到及時(shí)的、準(zhǔn)確的信息，做到較好的控制”。這個(gè)時(shí)期，計(jì)算機(jī)開(kāi)始用于會(huì)計(jì)工作。數(shù)據(jù)處理一詞已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)。</p><p>　　1970年，Walter T.Kenneva

61、n給剛剛出現(xiàn)的管理信息系統(tǒng)一詞下了一個(gè)定義：“以扣頭或書(shū)面的形式，在合適的時(shí)間向經(jīng)理、職員以及外界人員提供過(guò)去的、現(xiàn)在的、預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)的有關(guān)企業(yè)內(nèi)部及其環(huán)境的信息，以幫助他們進(jìn)行決策”。</p><p>　　在這個(gè)定義里強(qiáng)調(diào)了用信息支持決策，但并沒(méi)有強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)用模型，沒(méi)有提到計(jì)算機(jī)的應(yīng)用。</p><p>　　1985年，管理信息系統(tǒng)的創(chuàng)始人，名尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)的管理學(xué)教授Gordon B.Davis給

62、了管理信息系統(tǒng)一個(gè)較為完整的定義，即“管理信息系統(tǒng)是一個(gè)利用計(jì)算機(jī)軟硬件資源以及數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)的人-機(jī)系統(tǒng)。它能提供信息支持企業(yè)或組織的運(yùn)行、管理和決策功能?！?這個(gè)定義全面的說(shuō)明了管理信息系統(tǒng)的目標(biāo)、功能和組成，而且反映了管理信息系統(tǒng)在當(dāng)時(shí)達(dá)到的水平。</p><p>　　1.1管理信息系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展歷史</p><p>　　管理信息系統(tǒng)在初級(jí)階段是統(tǒng)計(jì)系統(tǒng)，所研究的內(nèi)容是數(shù)量數(shù)據(jù)間表面的規(guī)律，它可

63、以把數(shù)據(jù)分成較相關(guān)和較不相關(guān)的組，然后把數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)換為信息。</p><p>　　第二階段是數(shù)據(jù)更新系統(tǒng)，其典型代表是美國(guó)航空公司于20世紀(jì)50年代建成的SABRE預(yù)約訂票系統(tǒng)。它設(shè)有1008個(gè)訂票點(diǎn)，可以存取600000個(gè)旅客記錄和27000個(gè)飛行段記錄。它的操作比較復(fù)雜，在任何“點(diǎn)”都可以查到某一航班是否有空座位。但從概念上來(lái)講，它只是一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)更新系統(tǒng)，比如它不能告訴你以現(xiàn)在的售票速度何時(shí)票將售完，從而采取補(bǔ)救措

64、施。因而它也是管理信息系統(tǒng)的低級(jí)階段。</p><p>　　第三階段是狀態(tài)報(bào)告系統(tǒng)，它可以分成生產(chǎn)狀況報(bào)告、服務(wù)狀態(tài)報(bào)告和研究狀態(tài)報(bào)告等系統(tǒng)。比如生產(chǎn)狀況報(bào)告系統(tǒng)，它的典型代表是IBM公司的生產(chǎn)管理系統(tǒng)。眾所周知，IBM公司是世界上最大的計(jì)算機(jī)公司，1964年它生產(chǎn)出中型計(jì)算機(jī)IBM360，使計(jì)算機(jī)的水平提高了一個(gè)臺(tái)階，但同時(shí)組織生產(chǎn)的管理工作卻大大復(fù)雜化了，一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)又超過(guò)15000個(gè)不同的部件，每個(gè)部件又有若

65、干個(gè)元件，加之IBM的工廠遍及美國(guó)各地，不同的訂貨有不同的部件和不同的元件，必須指出什么工廠什么設(shè)備生產(chǎn)什么元件，因此不僅生產(chǎn)復(fù)雜，裝配、安裝和運(yùn)輸都十分復(fù)雜。為了保證生產(chǎn)以及其他環(huán)節(jié)的順利進(jìn)行，必須要有一個(gè)以計(jì)算機(jī)為基礎(chǔ)的生產(chǎn)狀態(tài)報(bào)告系統(tǒng)。因此同年IBM建立了先進(jìn)管理系統(tǒng)AAS,它能進(jìn)行450個(gè)業(yè)務(wù)的操作。1968年，公司又建立了公用制造信息系統(tǒng)CMIS,運(yùn)行很成功，過(guò)去需要15周的工作，該系統(tǒng)只用3周就可以完成。狀態(tài)報(bào)告系統(tǒng)還有一種

66、形式是數(shù)據(jù)處理系統(tǒng)，它用來(lái)處理日常業(yè)務(wù)和生產(chǎn)報(bào)告，重點(diǎn)在于將手工作業(yè)自動(dòng)化，提高效率和節(jié)省人力。數(shù)據(jù)處理系統(tǒng)一般不能提供決策信息。</p><p>　　最后的階段是決策支持系統(tǒng)，它是用來(lái)輔助決策的信息系統(tǒng)。該系統(tǒng)可以計(jì)劃、分析方案，審查解答和求解的誤差。它應(yīng)有較好的人-機(jī)對(duì)話方式，可以和不怎么熟悉計(jì)算機(jī)的人員通話。它一般包括一些模型用以產(chǎn)生決策信息，但不強(qiáng)調(diào)全面的管理功能。</p><p>

67、;　　1.2管理信息系統(tǒng)的應(yīng)用</p><p>　　管理信息系統(tǒng)起初應(yīng)用于最基礎(chǔ)的工作，如打印報(bào)表、計(jì)算工資、人事管等，進(jìn)而發(fā)展到企業(yè)財(cái)務(wù)管理、庫(kù)存管理等單項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)管理，這屬于電子數(shù)據(jù)處理(EDP,Electroni9c Data Processing) 系統(tǒng)。當(dāng)建立了企業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)，有了計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)從而達(dá)到數(shù)據(jù)共享后，從系統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)出發(fā)，實(shí)施全局規(guī)劃和設(shè)計(jì)信息系統(tǒng)時(shí)，就達(dá)到了管理信息系統(tǒng)階段。隨著計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)的進(jìn)步和人們對(duì)系

68、統(tǒng)的需求進(jìn)一步提高，人們更加強(qiáng)調(diào)管理信息系統(tǒng)的階段。隨著計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)的進(jìn)步和人們對(duì)系統(tǒng)的需求進(jìn)一步提高，人們更加強(qiáng)調(diào)管理信息系統(tǒng)能否支持企業(yè)高層領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的決策這一功能，更側(cè)重于企業(yè)外部信息的收集、綜合數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)、模型庫(kù)、方法庫(kù)、和其它人工智能工具能否直接面向決策者，這是決策支持系統(tǒng)(DDS)的任務(wù)。</p><p>　　在20世紀(jì)70年代初期，世界范圍內(nèi)有少數(shù)企業(yè)開(kāi)始MIS的局部應(yīng)用。到目前，MIS在世界各國(guó)已經(jīng)有了相當(dāng)?shù)?/p>

75、稍有增加。這是因?yàn)?，雖然中下層管理人員從繁瑣的事務(wù)性工作中解脫出來(lái)，但需要他們用更多的精力去分析研究工作，進(jìn)一步提高管理決策水平。隨著MIS的發(fā)展，企業(yè)對(duì)高技術(shù)人才的需求不斷增加，而能力不足者將逐步被淘汰。這就迫使人們通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)、培訓(xùn)，不斷提高個(gè)人素質(zhì)。隨著通訊、網(wǎng)絡(luò)和文檔傳輸系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展，企業(yè)職員可以在遠(yuǎn)地或家中上班。美國(guó)蘭克·施樂(lè)公司(Rank Zerox)的網(wǎng)上辦公系統(tǒng)，已經(jīng)使該公司大大節(jié)省了開(kāi)支，工作效率明顯上升，為提高辦

88、composed of three major parts:(1)a storage subsystem that stores and retrieves data in files;(2) a modeling and manipulation subsystem that provides the means with which to organize the data and to add , delete, maintain

97、re commonly found in business applications. As you have known, an organization char often describes a hierarchical relationship: top management is at the highest level, middle management at lower levels, and operational

98、employees at the lowest levels. Note that within a strict hierarchy, each level of management may have many employees or levels of employees beneath it, but each employee has only one manager. Hierarchical d</p>&
