From the Paper:

"Even though asking these types of questions would not provide everything that might need to be known, the questions would go a long way toward a better understanding of what should be dealt with where management information systems are concerned and what issues the end users might have when it comes to these systems. These questions would also help management understand issues such as whether they are communicating effectively with their employees and whether employees feel as though they can talk to management."
"This may seem unrelated to the issue of management information systems, but employees that do not feel comfortable talking to management about one aspect of their job will likely not feel comfortable talking about any other aspect as well, and therefore the issue of comfort and communication relates to management information systems and many other issues that might relate in some way to the communication level that takes place between management and employees in the course of their jobs."
