Let us understand what we really mean by the term system’
before we move on to ‘information system’.
A system is “an organized, purposeful structure that
consists of interrelated and interdependent elements (
components, entities, factors, members, parts etc.).
These elements continually influence one another
(directly or indirectly) to maintain their activity and the
existence of the system, in order to achieve the goal of
the system.”

The key functions of an information systems are:
Input - captures or collects raw data from within the organization
or from its external environments.
Processing - converts this raw input into a meaningful form.
Output - transfers the processed information to the people who
will use it or to the activities for which it will be used.
Information Systems also require feedback, which is output that
is returned to appropriate members of the organization to help
them evaluate or correct the input stage.

An organized approach to the study of the information
needs of an organization's management at every level in
making operational, tactical, and strategic decisions. Its
objective is to design and implement procedures,
processes, and routines that provide suitably detailed
reports in an accurate, consistent, and timely manner.
In a management information system, modern,
computerized systems continuously gather relevant data,
both from inside and outside an organization. This data is
then processed, integrated, and stored in a centralized
database (or data warehouse) where it is constantly
updated and made available to all who have the authority
to access it, in a form that suits their purpose.
