Decision Supporting System ( DSS )

Computer decision making , used to be called DSS “ Decision Support

System “ and it is a computer-based information system that supports business

or organisational decision-making activities .

so it’s like giving computers some problems to make decisions about them and

solve them .

what are the specific advantages of using computerised decision making ?

❖ Time Saving , as it speeds up the progress of problems

solving in an organisation .

❖ Increase organisational control , as managers can have a

view at all reports and documents of their organising and

keep an eye on it .

❖ Huge storage , how much data you put in computers , it

can handle it, also it can process a lot of data at same

time and share them with managers .

❖ Fault less , when we process or calculate numbers with

computers it’s more correct than human , as human are

more likely to make mistakes with data .

❖ Reveals new approaches to thinking about problem space

, as stress may prevent managers from finding other

solutions to solve problems. so computers give them more

solutions .

❖ Increasing effectiveness , as decision quality and decision

making effectiveness are hard to document and measure.

Most research has examined soft measures like perceived

decision quality rather than objective measures .

How can computers be decision makers better than humans ?

❖ To me , there is no way

to make computers

better than human but ,

we can improve

computers skills and

ability to make better

decisions .

What are the weaknesses of using computer as decision tools ?

❖ Lack of decision making power

❖ A computer can not take its own

decision They need to be told

each and every step

❖ Computer can not think it self

❖ If we input wrong data output

will also wrong.

❖ It needs electrical power without

power it is useless

Are computer likely to have any specific problems in making decisions that people wouldn't have ?

The only benefit is that the computer could help

you, by giving an overview of problems without

any solutions. The fact that a computer is faster

and can store more data than a human while its

lack of being able to critically consider the

valuable aspects of moral decision making

makes it a very good tool for helping us see the

whole problem so that we can solve it and take

the critical decisions, the computer should not

take them for us.

The computers should only be used as storage

facilities since we as humans only can keep a

certain amount of information in working

memory at once and more important; moral

problems need to be solved by humans.

do you think computer decision making system can effectively take ethical issues into account ?

Privacy and Surveillance

Piracy

Online plagiarism

Downloading software, music, and movie

Copyright and fair use

Fraudulent practices

Hacking

Virus replication

Fabrication of information

Unauthorized collection of information

Ethical Issues :

What is the role of human decision makers in creating ethical choices ?

Human decision makers in creating ethical decision making deal with preferences, utilities,costs, benefits,

goals, and objectives.

One must take all of these into account in order to define the problem and determined the desired and result.

Basically, it is the process of identifying a problem, generating alternatives, and choosing among them so that

the alternatives selected maximised the most important ethical values while also achieving the intended goal.

Are there advantages of completely disconnecting from the wired world

when Possible ?

Are there advantages of completely disconnecting from the wired world when Possible ?

❖ We would meet friends face to face

.

❖ contact with our families even more

then before .

❖ we would read books .

❖ we would be able to go out with

children , cousins ..etc and have

nice real time .

❖ we would study more as we have

more free time .

What can you do to try to retain your ability to focus and process information deeply ?

❖ Stamina your focus .

❖ Multi tasks .

❖ Manage your time .

❖ Write tasks’ list .

Summary

after talking about advantages and disadvantages of computerised decision making , we need to

say that , also human decision makers have some weakness points as we have smaller memory

than computers , so it’s like computers can make our decisions more likely to be perfect , by giving

us info we need faster and easier than using papers , also it can give us many solutions for our

problems or issues so we can choose the best one .

but in the other side , we have intuitive , so we make unique decisions compared to computers .

Hope you enjoyed our presentation . 😄❤️
