Presented article deals with issue of knowledge support of managerial decision making of entrepreneurs with regards to knowledge management principles. Basic idea of proposed solution is such a concept of information management of ICT/IT that would provide appropriate knowledge to decision makers. The core line of the approach is capturing of explicit knowledge relevant to given business activities into multidimensional databases that would become part of utilized ICT/IT. These issues are demonstrated on the agriculture domain where the need to computer storage of relevant knowledge and provide them on-demand is very up to date. Recently, it has become very necessary in frequently discussed agriculture technique called precision agriculture.

Keywords: knowledge support, precision agriculture, knowledge economy, multidimensional database, knowledge management, multidimensional modelling, knowledge rules
