Pervasiveness Of Materiality Of Factors In Operations And Their Changes In Decision Situations

: This is a study of the phenomenon of pervasiveness of materiality of factors (including data and information) and their qualities in operations and the pervasiveness of their changes in decision situations. Research and practical endeavors in improving information quality identified a plethora of qualities to be accounted for, but usually they ignore their interdependencies, which taint the outcomes of research and practical endeavors. The emergence of nanotechnology further expands our view on operations and the role of information, its quality, and informing for operations. Further studies have to account not only for their relativity but also for their discrete nature. The paper is presented for challenge, critique, and discussion to enhance our common understanding.
