Linkages exist between the information management approach and support of the organizational decision-making process. The premise of this article is that utilization of the advanced forms of the information management approach is better suited to supporting the decision-making process. The research reported here confirms that subject program managers desire information management approaches that support rather than replace their own judgment. Organizational requirements most desired by managers from their data system support are highlighted. However, there are fundamental differences between the views of the top level managers and their operational managers.
