From the Paper:

"To add to the problem of making decisions, small businesses usually find there are an extremely wide range of options available to them. For example, a small business could choose to enter almost any global market. A small business looking to find the right supplier has any number of local and global options available to them. A small business trying to decide on a marketing campaign has options of television campaigns, magazine advertisements, Internet campaigns, or a combination of the three. The range of decisions and the range of possibilities associated with each decision can make managing information an overwhelming task."
