The correct answer is: B. asking questions
During the system study, analysts determine manager’s information needs by asking questions. This is because the best way to understand what information a manager needs is to ask them directly. The analyst can ask questions about the manager’s current job duties, the information they currently use, and the information they would like to have. This information will help the analyst to develop a system that meets the manager’s needs.
The other options are not as effective ways to determine manager’s information needs. Conducting tours of a nearby computer center may give the analyst some general information about how computers are used, but it will not provide specific information about the manager’s needs. Showing samples of computer reports may give the analyst some idea of the type of information that is currently being generated, but it will not provide information about the manager’s specific needs. Teaching short courses in programming languages is not an effective way to determine manager’s information needs because it does not focus on the manager’s specific needs.
Therefore, the best way to determine manager’s information needs is to ask them directly.
