Beschreibung

Print on Demand. Decision Support Systems (DSS) have played a vital role in the transition from a monopoly-based computing environment to a dynamic free market. This book offers a fresh perspective on DSS, focusing on the lessons learned about the demand for computing services. The author analyzes the evolution of DSS, highlighting the shift from centralized data processing to a decentralized, user-driven approach. This transition has been driven by increasing demand for ad hoc systems and the availability of efficient, user-friendly tools. The book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the value of DSS and developing systems that effectively meet users' needs. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the user's perspective, adopting a flexible development strategy, and prioritizing ease of use over machine efficiency. Through in-depth case studies and research, the book explores the qualitative benefits of DSS such as improved decision-making, enhanced communication, and increased insights. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities of integrating DSS into the modern workplace, where the focus is on empowering managers and professionals with the tools they need to enhance their productivity. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the evolution of computing, the development of DSS, or the effective use of technology to support decision-making in the modern organization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
