Answer: B
Change requires that good change management processes be
implemented and enforced. Outsourcing the IS function is not
directly related to the rate of technological change.
Personnel in a typical IS department are highly qualified
and educated, usually they do not feel their jobs are at
risk and are prepared to switch jobs frequently. Although
meeting user requirements is important, it is not directly
related to the rate of technological change in the IS
environment.
