Eliciting Decision-Makers’ Information Requirements: Application of the Rep Test Methodology
针对信息系统常因未能贴合决策者需求而失败的问题，本文提出并应用Rep测试方法，用于引出决策者使用或希望使用的信息，并分析其显著特征。
:Many information systems fail to achieve their promised potential because of the inability of the analyst to design a system attuned to the needs of the decision-maker. To remedy this situation, it is essential to develop new methodologies that facilitate the process of defining distinct decision parameters, understandable by the decision-maker, the analyst, and others in the organization.The primary purpose of this paper is to present and apply the Rep Test, a methodology for eliciting the information used, or desired to be used, by decision-makers. The information elicited and the salient characteristics decision-makers attach to this information are further analyzed and interpreted by examining the results of information sources scaled on information attributes.
