Question:
Information systems managers can be partly compared to architects. Read the following statement and discuss similarities and differences between information system architects and building architects \([8]\):
"We are architects. [...] We have designed numerous buildings, used by many people. [...] We know what users want. We know their complaints: buildings that get in the way of the things they want to do. [...] We also know the users' joy of relaxing, working, learning, buying, manufacturing, and worshipping in buildings which were designed with love and care as well as function in mind. [...] We are committed to the belief that buildings can help people to do their jobs or may impede them and that good buildings bring joy as well as efficiency."
