Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: Systems that use sequential question-asking systems to aid decision makers such as doctors who are diagnosing illnesses are called expert systems. Text reading software is used simply to decipher text. Support software is generic software for any application. Group systems are not used for decision making.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: Greed and short-sightedness may affect the decisions of some, but clearly not all, managers. Most managers are rational in that they are reasonable, logical, and have the best interests of their organization in mind. What limits the decisions of managers most of the time is not having too much information but having too little, and not having the time or resources to be able to analyze all of the information that is relevant to all of the alternatives in a given situation.
