Abstract
The general objective of this paper is to evaluate the management information system in higher education in Iran using the optimization approach. Using this method, the management information system of four selected universities (Isfahan, Tehran, Shiraz and Ahwaz) was compared with Odekar. The statistical population of the study was cluster sampling of 1511 students, 1038 professors, 518 managers and 1158 employees. The research instrument consisted of a researcher-made questionnaire composed of dimensions of the management information system. After calculating its validity and reliability among the audience groups, the data were analyzed using statistical analysis of variance and Scheffe's post hoc test. The results showed that the University of Isfahan had the best status with the highest average in all dimensions compared to other universities.Based on studies and surveys conducted at universities and institutes of higher education, it is recommended that in a comparative study, other organizations and institutions using management information systems in the country be studied, and within that framework. Put them in the test plant
