How do you successfully apply an MIS in a business setting?
An interviewer may ask this question to gain a better understanding of how you apply your knowledge to the overall operation of the business. This question provides an opportunity to show your management style and experience when implementing MIS ideas into an organization's operations.
Example answer : "Applying an MIS to an organization's operations begins with understanding its needs and goals. Once you establish the primary purpose of the MIS, you can select the right type. In my last role, the goal of our MIS was to track the company's assets. The MIS stored all the data and calculated areas of gain or loss. Once the system was in place, I implemented training videos and led meetings that showed each team member how to provide their data and read the system. The system improved the managers' decision-making and decreased the company's losses."
