在人类事务中，有一股势不可挡的潮流，朝着日益复杂和信息过载的方向发展。简单的想法变得复杂，复杂的想法被太多的信息、行话和专业的胡言乱语所掩盖。这股浪潮已经成为学术界的一股浪潮。院校研究者通常专注于研究设计、不断增长的信息系统管理以及复杂的“决策支持系统”的配置等更为复杂和《双城之战》的方面。“然而，如果不能深思熟虑地以符合决策者需要和偏好的方式提出，那么可以想象的最好的分析工作也会变得无效。事实上，分析师所能给予的最珍贵的礼物就是清晰而周到地呈现出任务所需的最低限度的信息。这就是成功的机构研究人员与那些在葡萄园里辛勤工作，几乎没有成就或认可的人的区别。
There is an overwhelming tide in the affairs of humankind toward increasing complexity and information overload. Simple ideas are rendered complex, and complex ideas become obscured by too much information, jargon, and professional mumbo jumbo. This tide has become a tidal wave in the academic world. Institutional researchers are often preoccupied with the more complex and arcane aspects of research design, ever-growing management of information systems, and the configuration of sophisticated "decision-support systems." Yet, the finest work of analysis imaginable can be rendered ineffective if it is not presented thoughtfully and in a manner congruent with the needs and preferences of decision makers. Indeed, the single most precious gift that an analyst can give is the clear and thoughtful presentation of the bare minimum of information necessary for the task. This is what separates successful institutional researchers from those who toil in the vineyards with little achievement or recognition.
