Question

a. inability to control vendor costs
b. inability to account social and organizational dimensions
c. inability to assess the benefit of technology
d. inability to assess the cost of technology
e. inability to measure roi

Answer 1

A limitation of using a financial approach to evaluate information systems is the inability to account for social and organizational dimensions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A limitation of using a financial approach to evaluate information systems is the inability to account for social and organizational dimensions (option b).

While a financial approach may be able to assess the cost of technology (option d) and measure the return on investment (option e), it may overlook or not adequately consider the social and organizational impact of implementing a new information system.

For example, a financial evaluation may focus solely on cost savings but fail to recognize the need for extensive training and adjustment period for employees.
