摘要:

Developing systems to effectively support managerial decision making has always been difficult. Although there may be no one best approach, most decision support systems (DSSs) are developed, implemented, and evaluated with methods that differ significantly from traditional methodologies. This article examines the definition of a DSS, discusses the methods most often used in DSS development, and suggests future trends in this area.

摘要:

High-tech companies in the volatile microcomputer industry are facing a growing population of informed and technically enlightened buyers who have a broad base of workstation hardware from which to choose. As the process of selecting workstations becomes more complex, decision support becomes critical to aid buyers in making intelligent choices. This article describes a decision support system that was developed to assist buyers of workstations in selecting equipment with the highest benefit-to-cost rating.

Technological advances have resulted in such a profusion of information that sifting through reams of data to find relevant management information has become almost impossible using traditional MIS tools.

This article provides an overview of executive information systems for the MIS manager who will be contending with executive information systems more and more.

摘要:

It is becoming increasingly apparent that end users can design and develop their own applications. What is not always apparent, however, is how MIS can best support end-user computing. In this article, the author investigates the scope of end-user applications based on an end-user survey and suggests solutions to the problem of MIS support.

摘要:

In the past several years, profound changes have occurred in business data processing. Integrated information systems, separation of data from application programs, large secondary memory devices, data base managers, distributed computing, and data dictionaries have contributed to the concept that data is a corporate resource. The data administration function is now widely considered to be the key to more effective long-term data resource management.

摘要:

As a result of its rapid and widespread acceptance, the personal computer has become the driving force in a grassroots revolution within the corporate world. Yet, surprisingly few organizations have adopted a policy to govern the strategic use of personal computers now and in the future. This article looks at the results of a survey of MIS and DP managers on the use of microcomputers and suggests how policies may be set to reflect the best interests of the organization as a whole.

摘要:

The exponential growth of end-user computing can mean unexpected costs and haphazard applications development unless organizations plan ahead. Executive management must turn to MIS for guidance—but MIS must be willing to adopt new ideas about its responsibility toward corporate computing.
