Print on Demand. This book delves into the design and testing of interactive display systems intended to aid management in the planning process. Despite the theoretical existence of computer-driven visual displays for management planning, there is a lack of proven evidence regarding their efficacy. The author discusses experiments conducted at Westinghouse and MIT to assess the utility of these systems. Through these experiments, the author identifies the conditions under which such systems are beneficial and quantifies their impact on decision-making. The book explores the strategy for developing and evaluating these systems, emphasizing the importance of focusing on a specific decision-maker and problem. It highlights the need for incremental implementation, starting with a significant problem and expanding the system's scope as the decision-maker adapts. The author stresses the significance of appropriate software design, outlining the goals of simplicity, ease of interaction, general-purpose characteristics, modularity, fail-safe capability, and hardware independence. By adhering to these principles, the author successfully developed a software system that supports interactive management problem-solving in an unstructured environment. This book not only provides practical guidance for designing and evaluating interactive display systems but also contributes to the research on managerial decision-making processes. By modeling these processes and monitoring system usage, the author gains valuable insights into how managers make decisions and how specific types of decisions are handled. Ultimately, the book demonstrates the potential of interactive display systems to enhance managerial decision-making, providing valuable tools for line and staff management. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

Explore how interactive terminals reshape management decision making and unlock faster, more flexible data power.
This book explains why batch processing alone often falls short for unstructured problems and how interactive visual display terminals can change the way decisions are made. It introduces the concept of Management Decision Systems (MDS) and shares real-world experiences from early experiments to show what works and what doesn’t when implementing such systems.
Across design, implementation, and evaluation, the text emphasizes practical strategies: incremental development around a decision maker, modular software to adapt to changing needs, and strong emphasis on evaluation to learn from each step. It also discusses software architecture, the role of graphical interfaces, and the importance of safeguarding data and ensuring hardware independence.- Learn where interactive systems fit best: unstructured problems versus structured, routine decisions
- See how to model decision processes, compare empirical and normative views, and measure impact
- Discover design principles for flexible, modular software and reliable, user-friendly interfaces
- Read about actual experiments that guided improvements and informed best practices
