同学BI硕士论文的调查

我同学现在硕士论文的大部份也经完成，需要做的就是需要收集些数据。

在这里，要提一下我同学的论文的目的是：this thesis emphasizes more on guiding the organizations, how to make correct decisions in this highly competitive environment, and how they should apply business intelligence to support their decision makings to increase the competition.The overall purpose of this thesis is to provide a solution that can assist organization make use of business intelligence to enhance the decision making.

他现在想用的论文证明方法是通过interview公司高层管理人员或有经验的人，尝试找出BI和information system如何支持公司做更理性，更明智的商务决策。同时也希望了解到，公司在做决策的时候，更需要些什么样的information去支持这个决策以及确保这个决策的决定是明智的 。
interview的问题是基于Percy H.Hill 提出的 decisions making process. 以下你会看到一个流程图，他主要想通过调查，找出IT如何更好的支持这个decisions making process。

同时附上他interview提的问题，有什么问题提得不明白，或是有什么意见，都很高兴随时听取你的建议和意见。

或者你还有朋友知道这类相关知识的，如果不介意的话，可否也能收集他们的资料呢？请放心，所有数据将会只发表在瑞典皇家理工的这份论文里，不会对外泄露数据。
