3
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Decision Making & Problem Solving Process Potential Problems and opportunities are identified and defined Alternative solutions to the problem are developed Select a course of action Solution put into effect Evaluate the implementation
4
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Decision Types Programmed decisions Structured situations with well defined relationships Quantifiable Non-programmed decisions Ill-structured situations with vague or changing relationships between variables Not easily quantifiable in advance
5
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Optimization and Heuristic Optimization Model: find the best solution, helping individuals or organizations meet goals. Heuristics: commonly accepted guidelines or procedures that usually find a good solution, but not necessarily the optimal solution
6
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Key terms Management Information System (MIS) Business Intelligence Scheduled report Demand report Exception report Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Management Information Systems
7
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Management Information Systems (MIS) MIS ~ used to support programmed decisions made in response to structured problems. Primary purpose is to help individuals and organizations achieve goals by providing reports and information used to make better decisions.

Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > MIS Input and Output
9
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > MIS Reporting System This MIS reporting system puts many kinds of real-time information at managers fingertips to aid decision making.
10
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Reports Key Indicator Report Demand Reports Exception Reports
11
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Reports Scheduled Reports are produced periodically on a schedule; daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, etc. Demand Reports are developed to get certain information at a persons request. Exception Reports are automatically produced when a situation is unusual or requires action.

Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Key Terms Decision Support System What-if analysis Goal-seeking analysis Decision Support Systems
17
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Decision Support Systems A decision support system (DSS) is an information system used to support problem-specific decision making.
18
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Characteristics Handles a range of data from small to large. Obtains and processes data from different sources. Provides report and presentation flexibility Analysis and Comparisons Optimization & Heuristic approaches What-if analysis
19
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Characteristics ~ What If? What-if analysis is the process of making hypothetical changes to problem data and observing the impact on the results.
20
Succeeding with Technology 4 th ed > Information, Decision Support… > Goal-seeking Goal-seeking analysis is the process of determining what problem data is required for a given result. What must be done in order to safely withdraw troops within a year?
