Answer to Question 1

The data warehouse is a repository of analytically useful information in the organization. The term enterprise-wide refers to the fact that the data warehouse provides an organization-wide view of the analytically useful information it contains. For example, if one of the subjects of the data warehouse is cost, then all of the analytically useful data regarding cost within the operational data sources throughout the entire organization will be brought into the data warehouse.

Answer to Question 2

Organizational change is sometimes equated with organizational transformation. In other words, this term is referring to some kind of fundamental or radical reorientation in the way the organization operates. Some examples could be restructuring the organization, changing the mission, merging with another organization, and reengineering core processes.
