Why

The vice president of accounting says to, the IT director, "This
systems development life cycle stuff takes took long." She tells you
that her people know what they are doing and that all systems requests
coming from her department are necessary and important to the
organization. She suggests that the IT department bypass the initial
steps for any accounting department request and immediately get to
work at the solution. What would you say?





The head of the IT group in a company often is called the chief
information officer (CIO) or chief technology officer (CTO). Should
the CIO or CTO report to the company president, to the finance
department, where many of the information systems are used, or someone
or somewhere else? Why would it matter?
