Strategic Management Information Systems and Techniques

Most textbooks in this area tend to focus on the design of management information systems or deal separately with decision theory. The author of Strategic Management Information Systems and Techniques recognises that an understanding of decision theory and its techniques in isolation from an appreciation of the information and the computer systems on which the analysis is performed can prove extremely misleading.
The basics of decision theory are reviewed together with a number of the techniques that can be applied to strategic decision making. All the techniques are considered in the context of the management information systems that provide the data.
