Answer: TRUE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 40
2) Intelligent technologies are limited to small-scale projects when they include AI combined with
IoT.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 41
3) Decision making is one of the most important activities in organizations of all kind– probably
the most important one.
Answer: TRUE
Diff: 1 Page Ref: 41
4) Managers historically considered decision making purely a science.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 1 Page Ref: 42
5) With more data and analysis technologies, more alternatives can be evaluated, forecasts can be
improved, risk analysis can be performed quickly, and the views of experts can be collected
quickly and at a reduced cost.
Answer: TRUE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 44
6) It is generally best to rely on a trial-and-error approach to management.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 43
7) A major characteristic of computerized decision support and many BI tools (notably those of
business analytics) is the inclusion of at least one model.
Answer: TRUE

, 8) The definition of implementation is straightforward because implementation is a simple, direct
process with defined boundaries.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 49
9) Structured problems are encountered in only unique situations.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 52
10) Unstructured problems can be fully supported by standard computerized quantitative
methods.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 52
11) During the 1990s, the primary focus of information systems support for decision making
focused on providing structured, periodic reports that a manager could use for decision making.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 58
12) Decision support systems couple the intellectual resources of individuals with the capabilities
of the computer to improve the quality of decisions. It is a computer-based support system for
management decision makers who deal with semistructured problems.
Answer: TRUE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 58
13) The term decision support system is a very specific term that implies the same tool, system, and
development approach to most developers.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 59
