The purpose of this thesis is to identify a correlation between decision making and information sharing concerning Genetic Modification (GM). There is a social controversy regarding GM policy which intensifies conflicts within policy making participants continuously and extensively. NetMiner was used as a guide to analyze information sharing among 32 representative organizations to decide on GM policy. The analysis showed that average six organizations shared informations. It is notable that information providing in the process of information sharing among organizations is largely concentrated in the hands of three government agencies. It is found that the information sharing is related to the decision making in this study. It also seems that organization's characteristic is more significantly associated with decision making than information sharing is. Aside from "organization's characteristic" factor, a major influence on decision making is information sharing. It could be concluded that vitalizing information sharing can decrease policy conflict.
