Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amanda is analyzing technology to identify opportunities for improvement in current business processes. Therefore, the best choice is technology analysis (option E). The other options do not fully capture the purpose of Amanda's actions. Benchmarking (option A) would involve comparing the company's performance with that of other organizations, but Amanda is not doing that. Technical feasibility (option B) would be about determining whether a technology is possible to implement, which is not Amanda's goal. Problem analysis (option C) would involve identifying issues or obstacles that the company is facing that require a solution, but Amanda is not necessarily trying to solve a particular problem. Root cause analysis (option D) would be about identifying the underlying causes of problems or defects, which is again not what Amanda is trying to achieve in this case.
