Your company is thinking about hiring a new MIS manager named Phil. He has been interviewed 2 times already, and he is now being vetted by upper management. You've been invited to partake in this third interview and offer your opinions. Rogers, the man himself, has also been invited to the interview process even though Rogers was the person who recommended Phil to your company. You're pretty sure Rogers' decision will be biased.
During the interview, you notice a few things about Phil. First, Phil tends to talk about data and information as though they were the same thing, and you wonder if this is good practice for an MIS professional. Second, his background is accounting and little else. You wonder if maybe he should have a wider breadth of knowledge and experience. Third, Phil talks about information systems as if they are a necessary evil. His plan to improve your IT at your company involves outlays of cash for the next 5 - 10 years. This only feeds management's belief that IT is a big black hole where their cash goes and is never seen again, but they think an accountant might do a good job watching the money and reporting its use.
You've been asked if you'll recommend Phil for his fourth and final interview by your boss. This fourth interview is really a perfunctory meeting with the CEO before someone is offered a position. You see Rogers circling the room looking for consensus, and he's headed your way to get your approval for Phil's fourth interview. Should Phil get the position and why?
