Principles and Learning Objectives• Good decision-making and problem-solving
skills are the key to developing effective information and decision support systems.
– Define the stages of decision making.– Discuss the importance of implementation and
monitoring in problem solving.

Principles and Learning Objectives
• The management information system (MIS) must provide the right information to the right person in the right fashion at the right time.
– Define the term MIS and clearly distinguish the difference between a TPS and an MIS.
– Discuss information systems in the functional areas of business organizations.

Principles and Learning Objectives
• Decision support systems (DSSs) are used when the problems are more unstructured.
– List and discuss important characteristics of DSSs that give them the potential to be effective management support tools.
– Identify and describe the basic components of a DSS.

Principles and Learning Objectives
• Specialized support systems, such as group decision support systems (GDSSs) and executive support systems (ESSs), use the overall approach of a DSS in situations such as group and executive decision making.
– State the goals of a GDSS and identify the characteristics that distinguish it from a DSS.
– Identify the fundamental uses of an ESS and list the characteristics of such a system.

Programmed versus Nonprogrammed Decisions
• Programmed decisions– Structured situations with well defined relationships– Quantifiable– Management information system– Easy to computerize
• Nonprogrammed decisions– Rules and relationships not defined– Problem is not routine– Not easily quantifiable

Summary• Decision support system (DSS) - an organized
collection of people, procedures, software, databases, and devices working to support managerial decision making
• Group decision support system (GDSS) - also called a computerized collaborative work system, consists of most of the elements in a DSS, plus software needed to provide effective support in group decision-making settings
• Executive support systems (ESSs) - specialized decision support systems designed to meet the needs of senior management
