Abstract
Through this study we explore the literature discussing what management
information systems are what decision support systems are in an attempt
to clarify the taxonomies available in the literature into a holistic
discourse. The concepts are defined and discussed, the historical path
of the systems definitions are diagrammed and discussed and each
taxonomy found through the literature search is framed with regard to
the whole. In this work we offer a diagram charting the systemic
elements which are core to the definition of what each of these systems
are. This diagram is useful in explaining where an information system
fits into the taxonomies found in the literature. Through this we
have described the path of information systems from the processing of
electronic transaction data through to expert systems. In particular we
have focussed on the elements of management information systems and
decision support systems and their place within the available
taxonomies.
