Study Notes
Management and Decision Support Systems
- The ultimate goal of management information and decision support systems is to assist managers and executives in making better decisions and solving important problems at all levels of the organization.
- The decision-making process involves stages such as intelligence, design, choice, problem-solving, implementation, and monitoring.
- Programmed decisions are made using rules, procedures, or quantitative methods and are suitable for routine, well-defined problems, while non-programmed decisions deal with exceptional situations and unstructured problems.
- Management Information Systems (MIS) provide managers with information to achieve organizational goals, offering benefits such as competitive advantage, scheduled reports, key-indicator reports, demand reports, exception reports, and drill-down reports.
- Decision Support Systems (DSS) are used to make decisions that solve unstructured or semi-structured problems, focusing on decision-making effectiveness to help organizations achieve their goals and objectives.
- DSS characteristics include rapid access to information, handling large amounts of data, report and presentation flexibility, textual and graphical orientation, drill-down analysis, complex analysis, and support for optimization, satisficing, and heuristic approaches.
- DSS capabilities include support for problem-solving phases, different decision frequencies, problem structures, decision-making levels, and components such as Database Management System (DBMS), Model Management System (MMS), and the Model Base for quantitative analysis.
- Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) and specialized systems aim to help organizations achieve their goals by making knowledge useful for decision-making, and they can provide a long-term strategic advantage.
- Knowledge can be explicit (measurable and documented) or tacit (hard to measure and document); converting tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge facilitates sharing and measurement.
- Technology to support Knowledge Management includes organizational learning, data mining, business intelligence, ERP tools, groupware, and AI systems.
- Artificial Intelligence systems involve people, procedures, hardware, software, data, and knowledge necessary to develop intelligent computer systems and machines.
- Strategy and Information Systems play a crucial role in the integration of management and decision support systems and their alignment with organizational goals.
