Question

7) Which of the following factors determines the structure, features, and functions of an information system used in a company? A) the competitive strategy B) the value of its brands C) the size of the company D) the technology used by competitors

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is A: Competitive Strategy

Explanation:

The competitive strategy of an organization is the factor that determines the function, feature and structure of the information system that will be used. The value of its brand has nothing to do with the form of info system to be used, neither is the size of the company a determinant factor of the information system to be used. You cannot determine your own information system structure and function by that of a competitor. Hence the correct option is A. In every organization, the information system has great impact on competitive advantage in differentiation or cost.
