Management Information Systems Dynamics in Education Amid Disruptive Technological Shifts: A Review

Abstract

This research provides a systematic review of the influence of Management Information Systems (MIS) in the education sector, especially amidst technological shifts that are changing the educational landscape. Three research questions (RQs) were directed at exploring the impact of MIS on operational efficiency, strategic decision-making, and supporting educational innovation. The research findings imply that MIS is a key element in spurring positive change in the education sector. RQ1 highlights the role of MIS in improving the operational efficiency of educational institutions. Effective MIS integration makes it easier to automate administrative processes, improve resource management, and optimize financial processes. RQ2 focuses on the role of MIS in supporting strategic decision-making. Analysis shows that MIS facilitates data-driven strategic planning, provides better visibility into performance, and improves responsiveness to technological change. Meanwhile, RQ3 examines the integration of MIS in supporting educational innovation, showing that MIS becomes a catalyst for the development of new learning platforms, increasing student engagement, and creating a responsive learning environment. In conclusion, MIS is considered important in managing education in an era of technology that continues to develop. The implications of this research include the need to increase the understanding and application of MIS in educational institutions, as well as recommendations to guide practitioners, policymakers, and further study in efforts to maintain efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in the education system.
