Unstructured problem has no structured phases
Semistructured problem has some (or some parts with) structured phases
Structured problem has all structured phases– Procedures for obtaining the best solution are known– Objectives are clearly defined
– Management support systems can be useful
22
![Page 23: Principles of Decision Support Systems Abe Feinberg California State University, Northridge Introduction to Decision Support Systems 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a0ff9c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Unstructured problems often solved with human intuition
Semistructured problems in betweenSolve with standard solution procedures and human
judgment
A Decision Support System can help managers understand problems in addition to providing solutions
Goal of DSS: Increase the effectiveness of decision making

Computer Support for Structured Decisions
Since the 1960s Repetitive in nature High level of structure Can abstract and analyze them, and classify
them into prototypes Solve with quantitative formulas or models Management Science (MS) / Operations
Research (OR)

![Page 25: Principles of Decision Support Systems Abe Feinberg California State University, Northridge Introduction to Decision Support Systems 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a0ff9c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Management Science
Scientific approach to automate managerial decision making1. Define problem2. Classify problem 3. Construct mathematical model4. Find and evaluate potential solutions5. Choose and recommend a solution
Modeling: Transforming the real-world problem into an appropriate prototype structure
25
![Page 26: Principles of Decision Support Systems Abe Feinberg California State University, Northridge Introduction to Decision Support Systems 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a0ff9c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Decision Support Systems Concept
DSS are interactive computer-based systems, which help decision makers utilize data and models to solve unstructured problems
Decision support systems couple the intellectual resources of individuals with the capabilities of the computer to improve the quality of decisions. It is a computer-based support system for management decision makers who deal with semi-structured problems
Content-free expression There is no universally accepted definition of DSSUmbrella term vs. narrow definition (specific technology)
26
![Page 27: Principles of Decision Support Systems Abe Feinberg California State University, Northridge Introduction to Decision Support Systems 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a0ff9c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Major DSS Characteristics
DSS Example for Mineral Exploration
Initial risk analysis (management science) Model scrutiny using experience, judgment, and intuition Initial model mathematically correct, but incomplete DSS provided very quick analysis DSS: flexible and responsive. Allows managerial intuition and
judgment

Why Use DSS?
Perceived benefits– decision quality
– improved communication
– cost reduction
– increased productivity
– time savings
– improved customer and employee satisfaction

Major Reasons Unstable economy Difficulty in tracking numerous business objectives Increased competition Electronic commerce Existing systems did not support decision making IS Department is too busy Special analysis Need accurate information Organizational winner New or timely information needed Mandated by management Cost reductions End-user computing

Group Support Systems (GSS)
Decisions often made by groups Supports groupwork, anytime, anyplace
Also called Groupware Electronic meeting systems Collaborative computing

EIS Mid-1980s - large corporations
Now global
Affordable to smaller companies
Serves managers as enterprise-wide systems

Expert Systems (ES) Experts solve complex problems Experts have specific knowledge and experience
Expert systems mimic human experts ES performance comparable to or better than
experts in a specialized and usually narrow problem area
