Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

Data refers to the facts and figures a firm collects.Data in their raw form are seldom very useful because they lack the context to give them meaning.Data become information when they are processed,organized,and presented in a way that makes them useful to a decision maker.
Most firms collect vast amounts of data.They often develop decision support systems (DSS)that give managers access to large amounts of data and the processing power to convert this data into high-quality information.Business intelligence systems are the newest version of DSS.These systems usually take advantage of data mining,which consists of powerful statistical and mathematical techniques to find hidden relationships among variables that are buried in the masses of data a firm collects.These newly discovered relationships can help managers identify previously unseen opportunities and devise new strategies to take advantage of them.
