Answer 1

1.False
All too often when new information technology is introduced, managers adopt the technology first and then try to figure out what to do with it and how to cope with its implications. Such an approach is strongly discouraged as it can cause an increase in costs, lost worker productivity, wasted effort, and missed business opportunities.

Fire destroying the resources of an organization is an example of inability to continue operations due to a natural disaster or accident.
