    Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using GIS in business applications?

    • To improve decision making

    • To increase efficiency

    • To reduce the productivity

    • To increase communication

    Correct Answer
    A. To reduce the productivity
    Explanation
    Using GIS in business applications offers several benefits, such as improving decision making, increasing efficiency, and enhancing communication. However, reducing productivity is not a benefit of using GIS. In fact, GIS is designed to streamline processes and provide valuable insights, ultimately leading to increased productivity. Therefore, the answer "To reduce productivity" is the correct choice as it goes against the purpose and advantages of using GIS in business applications.

    Aspects of a GIS system do NOT include...

    • Legal representation of a physical location

    • Cartography and remote sensing

    • Photogrammetry and geography

    • Land surveying and mathematics

    Correct Answer
    A. Legal representation of a physical location
    Explanation
    A GIS system is a tool used to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. It involves various aspects such as cartography and remote sensing, photogrammetry and geography, and land surveying and mathematics. However, legal representation of a physical location is not a part of a GIS system. This aspect refers to the legal documentation and representation of a physical location, which is separate from the technical functionalities of a GIS system.

    You work for the corporate office of a popular retail company that has recently begun using a GIS system. Which of the following would NOT be a good reason to use this system?

    • To track new retail locations

    • To track competitors

    • To track existing retail locations

    • To track store credit card customers who have since closed their accounts

    • To track customers

    Correct Answer
    A. To track store credit card customers who have since closed their accounts
    Explanation
    Using a GIS system would not be a good reason to track store credit card customers who have closed their accounts. A GIS system is typically used for spatial analysis and mapping, such as tracking retail locations, competitors, and customers. However, tracking closed accounts of store credit card customers does not require spatial analysis and mapping, as it is more related to customer relationship management or financial analysis.

    What can GIS NOT be used to visualize?

    • Patterns

    • Tables

    • Trends

    • Relationships

    Correct Answer
    A. Tables
    Explanation
    GIS, or Geographic Information System, is a powerful tool that can be used to visualize various types of data and information related to geographic locations. However, tables, which are structured data presented in rows and columns, cannot be directly visualized using GIS. While GIS can analyze and interpret the data within tables, it typically requires additional software or tools to present tabular data in a visual format. Therefore, GIS is not designed to directly visualize tables.
