In the rapidly evolving digital era, Management Information Systems (MIS) have become a crucial component in business strategy and operational activities. This research focuses on the evolution of MIS from a data processing tool to a strategic catalyst that changes business models and enhances organizational interactions with customers and competitors. Given the importance of MIS in a competitive business environment, the study explores how MIS can be leveraged for innovation and differentiation while addressing challenges such as data security, system integration, and employee training needs. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining industry surveys and in-depth interviews with practitioners to gain a comprehensive perspective on MIS implementation and challenges. The primary objective is to assess how MIS can support business strategy and operations decisions and identify and overcome challenges in its implementation. The findings are expected to provide practical guidance for business leaders and IT practitioners and contribute theoretically to academic literature on MIS application in dynamic business environments. The research highlights how MIS contributes to innovation and differentiation in a competitive business environment. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of MIS usage and impact in various business sectors. The data is collected through online surveys and in-depth interviews, integrating both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. The research covers a diverse sample of businesses, including startups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and large companies across different industries. The findings reveal significant differences in MIS usage, effectiveness, and challenges based on company size and industry. Startups have lower MIS usage and higher implementation costs, while SMEs show higher effectiveness and efficiency. Large companies exhibit higher MIS usage and balanced effectiveness, with integration being a significant challenge. The study also highlights the importance of organizational culture, data security, and employee training in MIS implementation. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the role of MIS in supporting business growth and sustainability in a dynamic and competitive business environment.In the rapidly evolving digital era, Management Information Systems (MIS) have become a crucial component in business strategy and operational activities.
