Mis must provide info for both managers and external partners, and must show what they need based on what"s feasible. Cost of info must be weighed against its estimated benefit. Internal databases: electronic information compiled from all departments within an organization. Marketing (psychographics, demographics) customer service, accounting, operations, sales.
