Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small organizations typically have limited resources and therefore may only be able to employ one or two IT analysts who are responsible for managing the entire IS department and ERP system. In such cases, these IT analysts may have to juggle multiple roles and responsibilities. Option A is incorrect because while small organizations may expand IT from one person to a small staff, they typically remain closely connected to senior-level management. Option C is incorrect because employing several IT analysts is less likely for small organizations due to limited resources. Option D is incorrect because small organizations may not have the budget to support a well-staffed IS department with distinct roles for IT personnel.
