Answer to Question 1

MIS exists to help people who work in a business achieve the strategies of that business. Because of the rapid pace of technology development, it can be tempting to construct information systems just to be modern or for some other reason. Constructing systems for such reasons is unwise and wasteful of both time and money. Processes, information systems, and information need to be created for the purpose of achieving the organization's strategy. They are not created because the IS department thinks they need to be created or because the company is falling behind the technology curve. As a future business professional, one needs to learn to look at information systems and technologies only through the lens of business need.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Explanation: The goal should be to view people as talented individuals, each of whom has something unique to bring to the development team.
