For more than 25 years, the framework of Ives, Hamilton, and Davis (1980) for research in computer-based (C-B) management information systems served hundreds of doctoral dissertations without yielding results of lasting validity. This paper summarizes the more lasting results from prior studies about the nature of informing for operations (whether human or robotic) as seen through the lens of decision-situation models. The model and framework of thinking about informing for operations entails fundamental concepts; basic distinctions; universal taxonomy of informing factors, their qualities, and priorities of their examination for research and practical applications; and quality requirements for factors in form and in substance. The paper summarizes the first identified principia. Informing and information, viewed physically, provides insights that clarify several controversial issues. This paper is presented to elicit challenge, critique, discussion, and suggestions in order to develop a mutual consensus among those dealing with informing.

The paucity of human factors work in computer system design is noted, and reasons for this are elaborated with particular reference to computer-based management information systems. The main obstacle to such human factors endeavor would appear to be the lack of appropriate investigatory techniques. To remedy this deficiency a method is proposed which derived from the field of psychotherapy. Pilot studies are reported which demonstrate the technique and indicate how the data obtained may be interpreted. An appraisal of the potential of this technique in the management information system field is presented.

The purpose of this study was to determine the management of learning information systems. The method used is the literature study method, namely by collecting material, data and information from books, journals and articles relating to the issues discussed. The results of the study, with a good SIM, developers with the implementation of computer-based SIM learning activities can be completed quickly and precisely in order to achieve organizational goals. This is due to the fact that computer-based management information systems have advantages in managing information, namely speed, quantity, repetitive, complexity, high accuracy, and other advantages so that it can support the development of an organization, Conclusions, management information systems can support the development of learning. Keywords: Learning, Management of Information Systems
