Information technology is best defined as what?

  1. Equipment and techniques used to process information
  2. The set of programs written by a software house
  3. The wiring that connects one office to another
  4. The staff who repair computers inside a company
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Equipment and techniques used to process information

1. Information technology includes the equipment and techniques used to manage and process information. 2. It is deliberately broader than either hardware alone or software alone. 3.

Why can a business not operate without information?

  1. Because information is the cheapest asset it holds
  2. Because orders, inventory, and customers are all data
  3. Because information is required for tax purposes only
  4. Because information replaces the need for employees
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Because orders, inventory, and customers are all data

1. Information is at the heart of all organizations. 2. Without information about orders, products, inventory, scheduling, shipping, customers, suppliers, and employees, a business cannot operate. 3. The point is about running the business, not about tax reporting. 4. Information supports employees rather than replacing them. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 13 "Using Technology to Manage Information", section 13.1 Transforming Businesses through Information_

  3. From an industrial society to a knowledge economy
  4. From a knowledge economy to an industrial one
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. From an industrial society to a knowledge economy

1. In less than seventy years we have shifted from an industrial society to a knowledge-based economy driven by information. 2. Businesses now depend on information technology for everything from running daily operations to making strategic decisions. 3. The direction of the shift matters, so the reversed option is wrong. _Source: OpenStax Introduction to Business (CC BY 4.0), Ch 13 "Using Technology to Manage Information", section 13.1 Transforming Businesses through Information_
