Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to present a new concept of typology and directions of development of management information systems, taking into account current trends. The analysis of literature sources and the authors ‚experience indicate that despite the extensive literature on the subject, the divisions and relations of subsequent generations of systems appearing in it do not correspond to the increasingly complex reality and users’ needs. The presented concept was created as a result of a brainstorming session at the Faculty of Management University of Warsaw and verified at conference on the 50th anniversary of computer science at the Warsaw School of Economics in 2018. In the first approach – the conclusion from the discussion was the division into three main development paths, in the second the assignment of modern, innovative technologies to previously identified directions development. The results of the typology indicate the existence of breakthrough moments – milestones of development, challenges facing the use of information systems in the economy, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the latest technologies.
