Answer to Question 1

An organization's goals and objectives are determined by its competitive strategy.

In short, organizations examine the structure of their industry and determine a competitive strategy. That strategy determines value chains, which, in turn, determine business processes. The structure of business processes determines the design of supporting information systems.
