I started my search using the Texas A&M Library as my main aid in finding a scholarly article to write about. I then searched the terms Information and Quality, after retrieving over a few hundred articles I then went through the ones that were related to my field of study the most. Then I searched through the Full Text tab to find whether or not it was a scholarly article or just some journal entry.
The article I choose was “Impact of information quality and decision-maker quality on decision quality: A theoretical model of simulation analysis”. The article is about how information technology (IT) is represented when talking about information quality and the decision making that comes as a result of it all. It says how the quality of decisions improves with higher information quality being that the person making the decision is knowledgeable. But if not then the reverse will happen and the will make a lesser decision with the increase of quality.
This is something that we bother with constantly and affects us in everything we do daily. We as a people make snap judgments on a subject that we don’t really know anything about, just received a brief summary of the topic. That makes for a very uneasy reassurance in peoples decisions on a day to day operations, based on they don’t know much about what they are saying.
Wow, this was a very through description of how you found your article. I like the point to brought up. Even though we have more information at the tip of our fingertips now than ever before, people are still making rushed decisions, either out of laziness or arrogance. There should be no excuse as to why someone cannot spend a little bit of time actually researching something in depth, especially with all of the resources available.
ReplyDeleteIt was good how you explained how you got your article. I would probably have spent more time explaining why your article was scholarly though.
