This title should probably be Management information systemS. I think every major text book in this area has an "S" on the end. It's not a big issue.

the term MIS is used broadly in a variety of contexts. These include but are not limited to the following:

Decision support system (DSS) software. Resource and people management applications. Project management.Italic text Database retrieval applications.
^[1]MIS software is used to track sales, inventory, equipment and related business information.

In the past, these applications ran on mainframe computers. However, as computing systems evolved, organizations began to run MIS software on client-server systems. Today, MIS applications are commonly run in the cloud, including hybrid cloud environments. Types of MIS software The following are the four main types of MIS software:

DSS. A DSS analyzes business data to assist managers with decision making. For example, a DSS could project revenue figures based on new product sales assumptions. Transaction processing system (TPS). A TPS processes the routine transactions associated with a business. Examples include payroll processing, order processing for an e-commerce business and invoicing. Management support system (MSS). An MSS stores and organizes data, enabling end users to generate reports and analyze data to address business needs and inform planning. A data warehouse is an example of a MSS. Expert systems. An expert system provides managers with insights and advice based on artificial intelligence (AI). In an expert system, the AI is trained to simulate the knowledge of a human expert in a particular field.
