| Abstract | Utilization of information is one of the most important issues in the business world today, mainly to support the decision-making process. This study analyzed sample of Saudi public companies from two points of view. The presence of the tools (computers and other related elements), and type of information. The results indicated that Saudi companies engaged in collecting and processing three types of information (economical, sectorial, and internal). Saudi companies are willing to acquire external information to support their activities. Finally, some information is hard to obtain because of the absence of professional information providers. |
