The Concept Of And Design Strategy For Decision Support Systems

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia


Abstract

Decision Support Systems (DSS) have become an increasingly important type of computer-based information systems. Unlike Electronic Data Processing (EDP) or Management Information Systems (MIS), DSS is specifically oriented towards the kind of information processing activity that constitute a decision process. It serves to increase the effectiveness of the managers in making decisions pertaining to the management of an organisation. This article begins by examining the concepts of DSS focussing on the various definitions given in the literature so that a unified view of what DSS really is and how it differes from other computer-based information systems, can be formulated. The paper then discusses briefly the hardware and software requirements of DSS. Following this a generic framework for designing DSS is presented. Finally, the strategies for designing DSS are proposed and discussed. The paper argues that the appropriate strategy depends on the objection and decision situation a particular DS5 as meant to support.
