Read the passage given below, and answer
the question based on your understanding of the passage:
To survive, thrive and beat the
competition in today’s brutally competitive world, one has to manage the
future. Managing the future means managing the information. In order to manage
the information, in order to deliver high quality information to the decision
makers at the right time, in order to automate the process of data collection,
collation and refinement, organizations have to make Information Technology
(IT) an ally, harness its full potential and use it in the best way possible.
We have seen that in today’s competitive
business environment, the key resource of every organization is information. If
the organization does not have an efficient and effective mechanism that
enables it to give the decision-makers the right information at the right time,
then the chances of that organization succeeding in the next millennium are
very remote.
The three fundamental
characteristics of information are accuracy, relevancy and timeliness. The
information has to be accurate, it must be relevant for the decision- maker and
it must be available to the decision-maker when he needs it. Any organization
that has the mechanism to collect, collate, analyse and present high quality
information to its employees, ‘thus enabling them to make better decisions,
will always be one step ahead of the competition. Today, the time available for
an organization to react to the changing market trends is very short. To
survive, the organization must always be on its toes, gathering and analysing
the data-both internal and external. Any mechanism that will automate this
information gathering and analysis process will enhance the chances of the
organization to beat the competition.
46. Which
factors force organization to use IT to harness information?
(A) Explosion of
sources of information
(B) Availability
of latest information on real time basis
(C) Time, volume
and complex nature of information on real time basis
(D) Information
needs of users are inter-disciplinary in nature
Answer: (A)
47. Major
obstacle in taking accurate futuristic decisions is:
(A) Availability
of more information
(B) cut-throat
completion
(C)
Ever-changing socio-economic and political situations
(D)
Globalization
Answer: (A)
48. Which is the
most appropriate tool to make better use of information?
(A) Well
qualified and experienced information professional
(B) Depth
classification and indexing
(C) Experts in
domain knowledge
(D) Information
technology
Answer: (D)
49. What is the
critical characteristic of information delivery system for making its use
effective?
(A) Efficient
channels of communication system
(B) Ability to
develop appropriate information products
(C) Right
information, delivered at right time
(D) Developing
quality photocopying and fax facility
Answer: (C)
50. What is the
crucial decision for an organization to take to beat the competition?
(A) To create a
mechanism to access, organize and process information within an organization
(B) To establish
a separate department for acquiring and processing information
(C) To
strengthen the libraries already existing in the organization
(D) To
collaborate with university and national and international information systems.
Answer: (A)
