In this paper, a framework for investigating management involvement in decision support systems (dss) is proposed and a report is provided of findings of how, when, and why management involvement is required.Abstract:
:Managerial involvement in information systems has often been suggested. Decision support systems (dss) may well represent the information system category most demanding of management’s time. In this paper the author proposes a framework for investigating management involvement in dss. Next, a report is provided of findings of how, when, and why management involvement in dss is required. These findings are based upon an examination of eighteen dss cases and of the existing literature. Last, the framework is compared with the “conventional wisdom’’ in the existing literature.read more
