Ch 01 Information Systems: People, Technology, Processes, And Structure
1. A well-designed information system includes some form of to monitor and
control its operation.
A. Feedback mechanism
B. Data analysis
C. Information component
D. Software
processing
Answer: A
Rationale: A well-designed information system includes some form of feedback mechanism to
monitor and control its operation. This feedback ensures that the system continues to
operate in an effective and efficient manner. Data and software are components of an
information system but by themselves monitor or control an information system.
Points: 1
Question type: Multiple choice
Has variables: False
Learning objectives: Perva.pois5e.25.1.4 - describe each of the five elements that make up an information system.

B. People
C. Data
D. Software
Answer: B
Rationale: People are involved in many aspects of information systems. You can have the right
data, software, hardware, and procedures in place, but without the right people to
