Nowadays implementing of managerial decision-making information providing (MDMIP) is widespread mode to supply decision-maker. But even having such information providing a manager not always makes the best decision. To understand reasons of getting erroneous decisions it is necessary to discover gist of informative providing.

One of most widespread interpretation of MDMIP is data heading for decision-maker. On the other hand the information providing is communication network [1] and from point of process approach of management is a process of communication. The result of such process is information awareness of decision-maker [1]. Let’s systematize these notions.

To choose directions of consideration it is needed to use the speech acts theory which separates four levels of speech act: illocution, locution, perlocution and proposition. J. L. Austin and J. R. Searle, authors of speech acts theory, consider communication as activity and speech act as its minimum unit. It is thought to be possible to project these levels on MDMIP considering it as a complex form of communication activity. Locution is activity in which signs spread. Illocution is expression of form in which locution is carried out. Perlocution is effect of influence on communicate state. Proposition is meaning content. Thus to our mind, locutionary MDMIP is a process of communication, illocutionary it is organizational form of formal communication, propositionally it is data which are contained in this system, and perlocutionary it is information awareness of decision-maker (person to whom action is directed).

Structure of the informative providing as locution is defined by structure of channels of data aggregation, organization and transfer; as illocution it is defined by structure of competences of agents of MDMIP; as proposition it is defined by a structure of managerial decision-making model; as perlocution it is defined by structure of cognitive decision-maker’s model. Together these structures make the structure of formal communication of MDMIP.

Thus, structure of formal communication contains all aspects of structures of MDMIP notably to characterize MDMIP is possible through its formal communication structure characterizing.
