a) Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system? Why? b) Do you approve of the development process? Why?
Avenue Eight Designs hired a consulting firm three months ago to redesign the information system used by the architects. The architects will be able to use state-of-the-art CAD programs to help designing the products. Further, they will able to store these design on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, the top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to “introduce” it to the architects during training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system of putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy.
