MIS development is a strategic process of developing an informative information system for a company. To do this, many experts from different levels of a system sit together and investigates and examine a feasible approach to MIS development.
Followings are the different approaches of MIS development :
1. Top-down approach
2. Bottom-up approach
3. Integrative approach
Top-down Approach : In this method, the entire system is partitioned into a hierarchy of subsystems. The overall system is divided into a number of subsystems, which are then divided into a number of other subsystems in a top-down approach.
Bottom-up Approach : As its name implies, this approach mainly starts with the leaf-level or bottom-most management and proceeds progressively to the upper management levels.
Integrative Approach : In the integrative approach subsystems of a system are integrated with each other in such a way so that the objective of the system can be fulfilled.
