Q2) What role do people play as a component of an information system?
Answer: The design, development, launch, and maintenance of any information system involves teams of people. They play a number of different roles-as visionaries, developers, and managers of information systems, and also as analysts, liaisons, users, customers, contributors, and sometimes opponents or roadblocks. Leaders may be first to propose a system that will accomplish an important strategic objective for the company. However, innovative ideas for such systems come from every level. Managers and staff from many departments participate on teams with technologists to design a new system or evaluate commercial systems that might be purchased. The information technology team usually works closely with staff in marketing, finance, human resources, and other functional areas to launch user-friendly, people-oriented systems.
