1.	In a decision making environment, continuous change always validates the assumptions of the decision makers.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

2.	The most important feature of management support systems is the computational efficiency involved in making a decision.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

3.	Web-based decision support systems can provide support to both individuals and groups that act in a decision-making capacity.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

4.	Single decision makers rarely face decisions with multiple objectives in organizations and so are not the focus of data analytics tools.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

5.	The design phase of decision making is where the decision maker examines reality and identifies and defines the problem.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

6.	Only after the failed implementation of a decision can the decision maker return a prior stage of decision making.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

7.	Web-based collaboration tools (e.g., GSS) can assist in multiple stages of decision making, not just the intelligence phase.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

8.	Uncovering the existence of a problem can be achieved through monitoring and analyzing of the organization's productivity level. The derived measurements of productivity are based on real data.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

9.	Qualitative elements of a problem cannot be incorporated into formal decision models, so one can only seek to minimize their impact.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

10.	Since the business environment involves considerable uncertainty, a manager cannot use modeling to estimate the risks resulting from specific actions.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

11.	A normative model examines all the possible alternatives in order to prove that the one selected is the best.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

12.	Since a descriptive model checks the performance of the system for only a subset of all possible alternatives, there is no guarantee that a selected alternative will be optimal.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

13.	Generating alternatives manually is often necessary in the model-building process. The best option for the decision makers is to generate as many of these alternatives as is conceivable.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

14.	The DSS component that includes the financial, statistical, management science or other quantitative models is called the model management subsystem.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

15.	Knowledge-based management subsystems provide intelligence to augment the decision maker's own intelligence.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

16.	One way an operational data store differs from a data warehouse is the regency of their data.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

17.	Data warehouses are subsets of data marts.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

18.	Organizations seldom devote a lot of effort to creating metadata because it is not important for the effective use of data warehouses.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:

19.	A well-designed data warehouse means that user requirements do not have to change, as business needs change.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:
20.	Data warehouse administrators (DWAs) do not need strong business insight since they only handle the technical aspect of the infrastructure.	TRUE / FALSE
	Reason:
