Abstract: Abstract Inquiring organizations are a type of learning organization modeled on Churchman’s inquiring systems. The objective of this chapter is to discuss how current information technology can be used to support decision-making processes in inquiring organizations. Inquiring systems and organizations are described briefly, and issues relating to the support of these organizations are discussed from the perspective of information technology. Because of the variety of processes involved in the various types of organization, a diverse array of technologies is required for their support.
