An overview

Suggested Answers to Discussion Questions
az az az az




1.1 The value of information is the difference between the
az az az az az az az az



azbenefits realized from using that information and the
az az az az az az az



azcosts of producing it. Would you, or any organization,
az az az a z az az az az



azever produce information if its expected costs exceeded
az az az az az az az



azits benefits? If so, provide some examples. If not,
az a z az az az az a z az



azwhy?

Most organizations produce information only if its value
az az az az az az az



exceeds its cost. However, there are two situations
az az az a z az az az az



where information may be produced even if its cost
az az az az az az az az az



exceeds its value.
az az az




a. It is often difficult to estimate accurately the
az az az az az az az



value of information and the cost of producing it.
az az az az az az az az az



Therefore, organizations may produce information
az az az az az



that they expect will produce benefits in excess of
az az az az az az az az az



its costs, only to be disappointed after the fact.
az az az az az az az az az



b. Production of the information may be mandated by az az az az az az az



either a government agency or a private
az az az az az az az



organization. Examples include the tax reports
az a z az az az az



required by the IRS and disclosure requirements for
az az az az az az az az



financial reporting.
az az




1.2 Can the characteristics of useful information listed in
az az az az az az az



azTable 1-1 be met simultaneously?
az Or does achieving one
az az az a z az az az



azmean sacrificing another?
az az




Several of the criteria in Table 1.1 can be met
az az az az az az az az az



simultaneously. For example, more timely information is
az a z az az az az az

also likely to be more relevant.
az az az az az a z Verifiable information az



is likely to be more accurate.
az az az az az az




However, achieving one objective may require sacrificing
az az az az az az



another. For example, ensuring that information is more
az a z az az az az az az



complete may reduce its timeliness.
az Similarly, az az az az a z



increased verifiability and accuracy may reduce its
az az az az az az az



timeliness.
az




The decision maker must decide which trade-offs are
az az az az az az az



warranted in each situation.
az az az az




1.3 You and a few of your classmates decided to become
az az az az az az az az az



azentrepreneurs. You came up with a great idea for a new a z az az az az az az az az az



azmobile phone application that you think will make lots
az az az az az az az az



azof money.
az Your business plan won second place in a a z az az az az az az az



azlocal competition, and you are using the $10,000 prize
az az az az az az az az



azto support yourselves as you start your company.
az az az az az az az




a. Identify the key decisions you need to make to be az az az az az az az az az



successful entrepreneurs, the information you need to
az az az az az az az



make them, and the business processes you will need to
az az az az az az az az az az



engage in.
az az



b. Your company will need to exchange information with
az az az az az az az



various external parties. Identify the external
az az az a z az az



parties, and specify the information received from
az az az az az az az



and sent to each of them.
az az az az az az




The author turns this question into an in-class group
az az az az az az az az



activity.
az Students are divided up in groups, told to a z az az az az az az az



close their books, and given 15 minutes to:
az az az az az az az az




a. Think through the business processes, key decisions,
az az az az az az



and information needs issues in their group.
az az az az az az az



b. Identify the external users of information and az az az az az az



specify the information received from and sent to
az az az az az az az az



each of them.
az az az




One group is selected to present their answers to the
az az az az az az az az az



class.
az The other groups are told to challenge the
a z az az az az az az az



group’s answers, provide alternative answers, and chip in
az az az az az az az az



with additional answers not provided by the selected
az az az az az az az az



group. Since the group that presents is not selected
az a z az az az az az az az



until after the time has expired, students are motivated
az az az az az az az az az



to do a good job, as they will be presenting to their
az az az az az az az az az az az az



peers.

The value of this activity is not in arriving at a
