This booklet uses the example of Micro-U--a hypothetical example intended as a training tool-- to illustrate the application of WICHE's basic Management Information Systems (MIS) concepts. Micro-U embodies a microcosm of higher education management problems related to the instructional functions MIS is designed to address. This initial version of the Micro-U training module is used to explain program budgeting concepts and techniques. The explanation includes a resource requirements prediction model designed for Micro-U and programmed for a computer. A flow chart of the model is included in the appendices. (JS)
