This document provides 12 sketches or profiles of Management Information Systems (MIS) application. As a result of the 1973 preliminary Information Exchange Procedures (IEP) field test, some 45 colleges and universities across the nation developed compatible unit cost data and related information and compared themselves with one another. Twelve representative campuses were contacted to find out how planners and managers on those campuses made use of the newly available information. Emphasis was placed on three questions: (1) What specific portions of the information or data items were most useful? (2) Who used the data? (3) What specific decisions were affected or what actions resulted? Each of the 12 institutions that contributed to this document developed the same standard set of new data, used the same NCHEMS software packages in the process, and developed the same new analytic capabilities. Some of the more important new data developed and published by the institutions are: direct cost per credit hour by discipline by level of instruction, full cost per credit hour by discipline by level of instruction, number of credit hours produced per FTE teaching faculty by discipline by level of instruction, number of exchange FTE student majors by degree program by student level, direct annual cost per exchange FTE major by degree program by student level, full annual cost per exchange FTE major by degree program by student level, and total direct expenditures displayed by subprogram of the NCHEMS Program Classification Structure.
