Dept. of MIS, BRUR

Management Information Systems (MIS), a cutting-edge department at this age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The 4IR has opened up new opportunities for business enterprises equipped with modern up-to-date Information Systems (IS) and technologies. For sustainability in the digital world, applied technical knowledge is a must for conducting business processes, making strategies, and adopting policies. Keeping pace with the constant demand of the system-intensive present technology-oriented digital business world, Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR) has acknowledged the essence of presenting academic degrees and research opportunities at a tertiary level in MIS intending to meet the agile demand for the capable business graduates. The department starts its journey with the initiative of the present visionary Vice-Chancellor (VC) Professor Dr. Md. Hasibur Rashid.

To ensure effective and efficient decision-making leading to the prosperity of the organization, MIS provides the right information to the right person at the right place at the right time in the right form and at the right cost. Information is the basis for every decision taken in an organization. The efficiency of management depends upon the availability of regular and relevant information. Sound decisions can minimize costs and optimize results. MIS can be helpful to the management in undertaking managerial decisions smoothly and effectively, thus it has tremendous demand all over the world due to its wide acceptance. The main object of MIS is to obtain the required information about an organization’s operating results regularly to use them for future planning and control. The concept, therefore, is a blend of principles, theories, and practices of the management, information, and system giving rise to a single product known as MIS. It is the academic discipline covering the application of people, technologies, and procedures to solve business problems. All dynamic areas of business including management, marketing, finance, accounting, human resource management, operations management, strategic management have vast implications of MIS. Thus, it can be regarded as the core of business because of its wider application in all spheres of business operations. The Electronic Business (E-business) or digital firm is today’s reality where Electronic Commerce (E-commerce) is the new transformation. The department also emphasizes this transformational reality into practical phenomena.

As with teaching and learning initiatives, innovative and critical thinking drives the world forward thus, the department emphasizes innovation. Being expertise in MIS, students must understand how technology helps business pursuits and goals achievement through vigorous decision-making exercises. Again, MIS includes other business domains. Therefore, we are a hub that will connect students to a network of mentors, academician, and executives, potentially for life. To put it in simple terms, here at the department of MIS, it is tried to give the best for the best of students. Generally, an MIS executive is the communication bridge between business requirements and technological application.
