Publisher's Synopsis
Today, a growing range of sophisticated management tools, based on user-friendly computer packages, is becoming available. These decision support systems (DSS), often based on advanced mathematical and logical models, are increasingly important for managers and others keen to exploit computer developments.;This book introduces the world of DSS, focusing at first on the nature of management/business problems and then dealing with specific types of systems and how the field is likely to evolve in the future. The emphasis is on the developmental and implementation of decision support, not on the actual technology, and is set within an organizational context.
