This is a question that depending on who you ask can get varied responses. Through the use of a literature review more elements can be brought to light that would support the idea that technical competency is a mediator and moderator of managerial effectiveness or that technical competency is not. Regardless of what one’s own opinion about the given topic is one can see through research and through this literature review that the findings result in a new hypothesis that further dives into this hypothesis and breeds further research. In a dissertation written by Sylvia J. Hysong in 2008 this hypothesis was addressed and can shed some light on if technical skill has an influence on the effectiveness of management. She tested this theory by breaking the essentials of the thought into several other hypothesis in which she then tested through the means of a 107 first-tier supervisor survey of supervisors working for a petrochemical and engineering company.

MILESTONE 5 – PROCESS MODELING - Part II (Exploded DFD) _______________________________________________________ Part 1 Synopsis 1. Level 0 Data flow Diagram T he requirements analysis phase answers the question, ‘What does the user need and want from a new system?’ The requirements analysis phase is critical to the success of any new information system! In this milestone we need to identify what information systems requirements need to be defined from the system users’ perspectives. The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of system which shows systems structure and components. The DFD shows how the data transforms in the system, what the source of the input is and what is the
