You are the IT director at Attaway Airlines, a small regional air carrier. You chair the company’s systems rev?
Continuation:
Dan Esposito, the marketing manager, says it is vital to have a new computerized reservation system that can provide better customer service and reduce operational costs. Molly Kinnon, vice president for finance, is equally adamant that a new accounting system is needed immediately, because it will be very expensive to adjust the current to new federal reporting requirements. Molly outranks Dan, and she is your boss. The next meeting, which promises to be a real showdown, is set for 9:00 a.m .tomorrow.
A Problem in system analysis and Design.. Please suggest… I have some already in mind but your answers are needed.. 
How much am I getting paid? What kinds of benefits come with the job? How is vacation time accrued, and what about sick leave?
If I were in this situation, I would have to obey my boss, first and foremost. If you were any good in IT management, you could ask your boss’s permission to multitask and work on both needs. Of course, a REALLY good IT director would know how to delegate, and allow his BEST programmer to work on his boss’s needs, while the NEXT best programmer work on designing and building a new computerized reservation system.
But what *I* want to know is, why is the VP for finances YOUR boss? What kind of hierarchy is THAT???
