Organizational Decision Support Systems
Proceedings of the IFIP WG 8.3 Working Conference on Organizational Decision Support Systems, Lake Como, Italy, 20-22 June 1988
Description:... Decision Support Systems (DSS) are typically viewed as computerized aids for managerial decision making at the individual level. By contrast, this volume focuses on DSS for group and organizational decision making. The contributions are from academics and practitioners who are developing new concepts, techniques and software to support decision-related activities involving multiple participants. The book is in five sections. The first looks at the organizational setting of group decision support systems and experiences of various enterprises in their use. The second section is concerned with supporting negotiation processes, decision situations where the participants have conflicting goals. The third section deals with analysis and design issues in developing group/organizational DSS. Behavioral issues relating to the impact of the technology are examined in section four, while the fifth section discusses practical experiences with group decision rooms'.
