Research for a solution of business questions modeling in decision support systems

With the intense competition, Decision Support is playing a more and more important role in modern business management. In the view orienting directly to business questions, this paper suggests a solution by transforming one kind of business questions. which have a specific management goal, into a maximum or minimum problem with objective function, thus we can get more significant decision support when we multi-dimensionally analyze the data in clam warehouse. Here we first bring out the principles and methods about how to transform business questions into function model, and then discuss how to deal With the constraints about business questions. In the end of this paper, we explain what we need to pay attention when we try to get a result from Data Warehouse, and what information We can gel from the computational results.
