Decision Support Systems: Directed and Nondirected Change
<P>The Decision Support Systems (DSS) literature is in general agreement that use of DSS leads to individual and organizational change, but there is no consensus as to whether DSS and their designers serve as agents for directed or nondirected change. ...
An Information Systems Approach to Support Decision Makers Selecting Group Decision Processes
CRIWG '00: Proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on GroupwareThis paper describes a support system for group decision-making. The system is based on a database of typical decision cases and also an underlying model of the group decision process. The model serves to organize the way users interact with the ...
Consensus-based decision support for multicriteria group decision making
Consensus decision making is complex and challenging in multicriteria group decision making due to the involvement of several decision makers, the presence of multiple, and often conflicting criteria, and the existence of subjectiveness and imprecision ...
