What is a definitional rule?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Definitional rules are a type of business rule that form theories or produce information. They represent something that is fundamentally true or untrue about some concept within the organization. Unlike behavioral rules, which are about people's behavior, definitional rules constitute operational knowledge of the organization. They cannot be violated but can be misused. For instance, a definitional rule might be used to classify different categories of customers based on contractual agreements or order quantities.

Ooh, this one's tricky. I almost went with D, because people's behavior is definitely part of the definition. But B is probably the winner here.

Hmm, I was tempted to go with A, but B makes more sense. Definitional rules need to have some teeth to them.

I agree with Lindsey. B seems to be the best choice here. What's the point of a rule if it can't be violated, am I right?

I think it could also be D) A representation of the behavior of people, as rules often dictate how people should act.

Option B looks like the correct answer to me. Definitional rules are about obligations and prohibitions, not just representations.

That makes sense, a definitional rule could set boundaries for behavior within an organization.
