The partial analysis of the questionnaire survey results was used for designing the basic structure of the required dependencies in the form of a decision tree. On the basis of the tree, requirements for designing the system of strategic thinking models were deduced. These requirements are reflected in the functional model, the data model and in the status diagram. These models will present an instrument suitable for supporting strategic decision making.

Crisis management requires completely different managerial competencies from those used in "standard" periods as time pressure is a negative factor aggravating the situation and in addition to that, resources are reduced calling for stimulation. A crisis manager should motivate both himself and the staff and it is he who is expected to be creative even under pressure.
