Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates decision support systems (DSS) by presenting an overview of the key issues related to their success or failure. Drawing upon data from 56 structured case studies, the author categorises computer-based systems into seven distinct types based on the type of calculation or operation performed. Each type is thoroughly examined, with emphasis on its usage patterns and impact, as well as factors contributing to or hindering successful implementation. The book highlights the critical role of "type of DSS" as a contingency that should be considered by researchers and implementers. The typology presented serves as a valuable tool for understanding and interpreting implementation experiences and research studies, ultimately leading to better system design and usage practices. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of DSS types, providing valuable insights for practitioners and researchers alike, and emphasising the significance of considering system type in the design, implementation, and evaluation of decision support systems.
