– Information that is outdated, inaccurate, or hard to understand has much less value
• Information has three dimensions– Time
– Content
– Form

Decision Structure
• Structured (operational)– The procedures to follow when decision
is needed can be specified in advance
• Unstructured (strategic)– It is not possible to specify in advance
most of the decision procedures to follow
• Semi-structured (tactical)– Decision procedures can be pre-specified,
but not enough to lead to the correct decision
