10.15) ........................................ Systems pool data from internal and external sources and make information available to senior managers, for strategic, unstructured decision-making. Which word or phrase correctly completes this sentence? Picklist: Expert Decision Support Executive Support Management Support answer: Executive Support (BPP kit) but I think the answer should be Decision Support, cause it helps decision-making, and also draw on both internal and external information. can you correct me, sir thanks

I agree with you that DSS is a viable answer, but so, I think is EIS. The distinction between a DSS and an EIS is very ill-defined and perhaps becoming old fashioned. The question mentions senior managers but how senior? Perhaps the key word in the question is 'strategic'. This implies fundamental long-term decisions that are likely to be taken at board level and for the decision-makers an EIS would be more appropriate. Any real ACCA question would be less ambiguous.
