Test on Managing Business Information Systems

Question 1: The study materials indicate that Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems primarily operate without modules for Human Resources.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that ERPs may have specific modules, including 'Human Resources', which contradicts the idea that they operate primarily without such modules.

Question 2: According to the study materials, which of the following is a management problem that typically arises in a non-integrated Information System (IS) framework?

A. Each piece of data is recorded once, eliminating time consumption and errors.

B. Data is stored in a single location and shared, avoiding duplication and identical values.

C. The same data is recorded multiple times, leading to time-consuming manual data entry and errors.

D. Shared interfaces and platforms are used, which improves efficiency and automation.

Explanation: The study materials state that in a non-integrated IS scenario, 'The same data is recorded multiple times... Manual data-entry: time-consuming/source of errors.' The other options describe advantages of an integrated IS or are not identified as problems in a non-integrated framework.

Question 3: Is the analysis of the company's needs a criterion to consider when selecting ERP modules for implementation?

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The selection of modules to be implemented must take into account several criteria, including the analysis of the company's needs.

Question 4: ERP software typically offers no customisation or bespoke development options for companies.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that a basic characteristic of ERP is 'Standard software with customisation options' and 'Customisation and bespoke development options'. Therefore, the statement that ERP offers no customisation or bespoke development is incorrect.

Question 5: According to the study materials, which of the following are explicitly identified as types of costs involved in an ERP implementation project?

A. User licences and SAAS costs for software

B. Internal staff dedication and organisational changes

C. Customisation costs and data migration

D. Market research and competitor analysis

Explanation: The study materials explicitly list 'Software: User licences / SAAS cost / New versions...', 'Implicit Internal Costs: Internal staff dedication, organisational and process changes...', and 'IT Consulting: Analysis sessions + Customisation costs/Custom developments + Data migration + Training sessions + Support service...' as types of costs. Market research and competitor analysis are not mentioned as costs in the provided text.
