During the two round surveys, the 15-item questionnaire was administrated to the respondents twice. Fourteenitems reached the panelist consensus in the both rounds while one item did not reach panelist consensus in the round two survey. The mean score was used to answer the research question. t-test was used to test the hypothesis. The following were the major results of the study; 14 decision-making areas were accepted. There was no significant difference between the mean responses of administrators and MIS experts regarding decision-making areas.
