A database management system (DBMS) is a collection of programs that
manages the database structure and controls access to the data stored in the
database".  
The DBMS serves as the intermediary between the user and the database.
The database structure itself is stored as a collection of files, So, we can access
the data in those files through the DBMS.
The DBMS receives all application requests and translates them into the
complex operations required to fulfill those requests. The DBMS hides much of
the database’s internal complexity from the application programs and users.
An advantage of the database management approach is, the DBMS helps to
create an environment in which end users have better access to more and better-
managed data.
Such access makes it possible for end users to respond quickly to changes in
their environment.

2. With direct hands on business data, the users were able to manipulate the
organization data. The users were able to create new information with the
previous available information. The users wearable to create various tools to
retrieve and manipulate company data as per their needs. This creation lead to
various reasoning and analysis, that leads to develop various information like,
surveys, statistics, reports the were all created by the user. Centralized and
secure data access.
Explanation:
Data analysis has improved organizational decisions by analysing, manipulating
and presenting data for ease in making refined decisions. The data used for this
purpose are stored in computerized data repositories.
Data repositories manages and stores data that can be mined for processing from
any workstation and any location. It provides user authentication for secure
access, but it has vulnerabilities.
3.a.      Information systems are carefully intertwined with in (organization culture,
structure and business processes).
       New systems established designs of work and power relations, often substantial
confrontation to them when they are presented.

       Implementing strategic systems requires extensive organizational modification

and a transition from one sociotechnical level to another.
       They are expensive and difficult to build because they involve massive
sociotechnical changes within the organization.
       Many strategic information systems are simply copied by other firms.
       The complex relationship between information systems, organizational
performance, and decision making must be carefully managed.
 
b.   Managers ask t questions to help them find the types of systems that may provide
them with a strategic benefit.
 
       1.What is the structure of the industry in which the firm is located?
 
       Analyze the competitive that forces about the work and control the basis of
competition and direction also the change within industry and
       how the industry will analyze with information system. information technology.
 
      2.What are the business, firm, and industry value chains for this particular
firm?
 
         Decide company to makes value for its customs; also control the firm uses best
performs to achieve its business processes; analyze the firm influences
         its core capabilities; confirm industry to supply chain and customer base are
varying; establish the advantage of strategic partner ships and add value nets;
         explain where information systems will provide the highest value in the firm’s
value chain.
 
 
 
     1.Have we aligned IT with our business strategy and goals?
 
        Clear the firm’s business strategy and aims also will decide the IT to improve the
