In the first section, we argue as to why this is the case. Next, we consider the concept of 'fit' and its measurement, as the central theme of an epistemological approach towards the realization of the above objective. Its nature, possibilities, and limits are addressed, whilst the final two sections describe briefly its further development and practical application in an organization through action research. The use of those depends upon a number of factors such as cognitive style, whilst their operations are often rooted in the user's education and experience in parallel with specific contextual factors. If we agree on the purpose of an IS as being to satisfy the informational requirements of the user, the route to information is a function of perception and subsequent interpretation depending upon a 'pick and mix' of all the above.
