Abstract
A computer-implemented, software based, decision management system which automatically searches for a respective strategy component through a strategy to identify where the strategy component is being used in the strategy, and to determine the strategy component'"'"'s inter-relationships in the strategy. For example, an end user of the system selects a respective strategy component to be searched. A plurality of selectable inquiries are then automatically presented to the end user, where the plurality of selectable inquiries are context sensitive to correspond to the selected strategy component. The end user then selects a respective inquiry. Then, the system automatically searches for the selected strategy component through the strategy in accordance with the selected inquiry to identify where the strategy component is being used in the strategy. The strategy can be searched, for example, by analyzing linked tables of a relational data model for implementing the strategy.
