Directions: Read the following three passages and answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet. PASSAGE 1: There can be little doubt that information technology has played a substantial part. in promoting widespread industry re-structuring and deep-rooted organizational change during the past decade. Despite a lack of evidence linking real productivity gains with IT investment, organizations throughout the private and public sectors have persevered with the implementation of new IT infrastructures. For many organizations, these investments have been viewed as the price of remaining competitive, as the capabilities of advanced information and telecommunication technologies have altered business scale and scope economies, as well as facilitating radically different business delivery models. From its first public premiere in the early 1990s, business process re- engineering (BPR) has, in the opinion of many proponents, been considered to be synonymous with the application of IT to the remodelling of business organizations and extended enterprises. However, in practice, in spite of offering a host of technical opportunities for radical re-design, IT has proved to be as much an impediment to process based change as a pivotal enabler.

In the Information Age, the emergence of computing technology and microelectronics, coupled with telecommunications, allows data and information to be rapidly processed and transmitted. They meld together to form a unified field known as information technology (IT). The term information technology was coined in the late 1970s, to refer to this nexus of modern technology, although the precise meaning of information technology differs from person to person. Here. we adopt a loose definition that any use of the above modern technology to process and transmit data or information will be included in information technology- hence including office automation, robotics. digitized voice and image transmissions. Faced with the rapid development of information technology, scientists and technologists are optimistic about the bright future made possible by the modern technology, whereas social workers and psychologists are alarmed at the effects on societies and individuals, and trade unionists fear widespread unemployment caused by the use of new information technology. People who are not acquainted with information technology sometimes suffer from unnecessary anxiety or raise false hope about technology. The consequences of either extreme are undesirable.

New product development is considered to be vital for a company's long-term survival. At the same time, it is a risky and complex process. It takes time, costs money, and requires the collaboration and coordination of cross-functional and cross-regional teams. In addition, new product development encompasses multiple activities such as preliminary investigation, development, testing and validation, and market launch. It also necessitates knowledge creation and sharing. Moreover, it involves difficult decisions. Finally, the new product development process needs to generate superior products. The success of a new product may hinge on the successful implementation of these activities. One way of facilitating the implementation of these activities is to use information technology (IT). In general, IT includes computer hardware, software. and communication systems, as well as the personnel and resources dedicated to supporting these capabilities. IT is used to facilitate the compilation, analysis, and dissemination of task-related information. For example. IT has been used in purchasing, manufacturing, and sales. IT can also be applicable to new product development because of various compelling reasons. For instance, increased competition requires faster new product introduction, globalization of new product competencies makes it difficult to bring new product teams in one location, and there is a growing need for using electronic data sources to share knowledge among new product teams. IT certainly has the potentials to help companies introduce their new products faster, and enhance the collaboration and communication of cross-functional and cross-regional teams.
