Organizational behavior is the study of human and group behavior in organizations using methods such as sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science (Schermerhorn, Hunt & Osborn, 2005). This study also empowers leaders to understand, predict, and influence the behaviors of workers. Furthermore, good leaders must also possess other qualities such as good communication skills, an ability to understand the culture of an organization, and must be knowledgeable about diversity in the workplace. Ress Asst (2012) describes diversity as the understanding of values and characteristics of different people. In order to have a diverse working environment, managers must be respectful, appreciative, and acknowledge the characteristics and ideas of individuals. Proper management of diverse employees allows for companies to receive the benefits from different talents and skills that employees are able to bring to the table. With diversity management, employees of different backgrounds learn to understand that everyone is not the same. However, with their differences, they are able to work together to get a job completed. This concept can be easy for managers to implement and practice by educating employees, communicating effectively, and enforcing how employees should treat each other.

Management information systems, also known as MIS, are computer systems that direct business and organize operations or files. Many people wonder why

All organizations big or small, for profit or non-profit have a structure in which dictates how they function. The evolution of communication with emails, video conferencing, instant messaging, text messages and social media sites has forever changed how organizations communication is structured. In a global work environment, organizations are now utilizing people with different perceptions, backgrounds and work attitudes (Himmer, 2013). Organizational structure guides coordination and allocation of tasks leading to the organization’s goal. An organization structure can specifically control and instruct how employees behave and what values are accepted by an organization. In a globalized economy, many organizations redesign their structures to cater towards the ever-changing work environments. Reshaping an organization structure may mean employee’s roles and responsibilities to align with cultural changes, in efforts to become more efficient and productive.

A rapidly changing business environment due to technological changes and the impacts of globalization has resulted in shift of human resources paradigms (Khan, 1997). In every organization

Organizational behavior is the behavior of individuals, either one or a group. It is not the behavior of an organization, but rather the behavior of the people in an organization. This can be anywhere from a family at home to a church to a work group within a company. Some of the challenges that make behaviors challenging in today’s workplace are high performance, ethical behavior, productivity improvement, technology utilization, quality, diversity, work-life balance, and the global economy, (Schermerhorn, 2003, P. 1).

There are very many types of information systems. Classification of information systems follows the organizational levels in which they are used or installed for use. For instance, there are management information systems; some of which will be covered in this project report. Management information systems (MIS), helps businesses meet their business objectives. Almost all organizations and businesses today use management information systems; be it large, small, startup or an established multi-national. This is for the sole reason that information systems have evolved from just being a tool to gain competitive advantage for businesses, to a vital tool, a necessity in the digital age we live in. Management Information Systems help managers make better-informed decisions and communicate with their superiors, as well as with all the stakeholders in the businesses their organizations are involved in.
