Section 1.2 Review Questions 1. What are some of the key system-oriented trends that have fostered IS-supported decision making to a new level? Improvements and innovation in systems in many areas have facilitated the growth of decision-making systems. These areas include: • Group communication and collaboration software and systems • Improved data management applications and techniques • Data warehouses and Big Data for information collection • Analytical support systems • Growth in processing and storing formation storage capabilities • Knowledge management systems • Support of all of these systems that is always available 2. List some capabilities of information systems that can facilitate managerial decision making. Information systems can aid decision making because they have the ability to perform functions that allow for better communication and information capture, better storage and recall of data, and vastly improved analytical models that can be more voluminous or more precise. 3.
