In summary, an integration of knowledge is important to be in place as poor information will lead to poor decision making being made by decision makers.

Data used in this study were gathered using questionnaires and were analyzed using SPSS 11.5 version for windows. The findings gathered show that mode of knowledge held by different roles of the data production processes lead to different effects on data quality. With the knowing-why mode of knowledge being held by the members of the work domain within the data production processes, it may lead to a better state of having pool of knowledgeable workers within the domain process as well as having cross functional knowledge within the data production processes.
