The relationship between decision-making problems and information needs

1) decision-making information requirements. Decision-making is people's comparison and choice of things based on the analysis of certain information. The selectivity of decision-making can be seen from five aspects: decision-making is to choose the best among various alternative schemes according to established organizational goals and criteria; A complete decision-making problem includes not only the decision-maker, the criteria and constraints for judging the advantages and disadvantages of the scheme, but also the optional goals or schemes; The basic basis of decision-making is to have at least one goal or plan, because if there is only one goal or plan and there is no choice, there is no need to make a decision at all; The general criterion for choosing the best scheme is that the scheme is feasible and conforms to the three principles of interest, efficiency and economy; The first step in choosing the best scheme is to choose the feasible scheme according to the constraints, then compare the feasible schemes and deal with the multi-objective problem, and finally use the decision-making thinking method to solve the optimal scheme or sub-optimal scheme. In essence, the above points save the demand for information from different angles and in different forms. It is people who never stop comparing and choosing, and trigger, propose and stimulate the demand for information from constant decision-making behavior. 2) Decision makers decide the quality and quantity of information demand. Looking at the relationship between decision-making and information demand from the perspective of the subject, first, the number of individual decision-makers who constitute the subject of social decision-making (divisible) determines the market demand level of information. From the decision-making subject with enterprises as the unit, if a society can stimulate more individuals to start businesses and create more enterprises, it is creating information demand in information economics. Generally speaking, the more enterprises there are, the greater the demand for information in the market; Second, the decision-making quality of decision makers determines the degree of information possession and mastery of key information, and directly determines the quality of market information demand.
