Development of shipping department management support system: a case study

This paper draws on the findings of an empirical research project (PhD dissertation) and investigates the relationship between wisdom and managerial decision-making with an emphasis on the data-informationknowledge-wisdom hierarchy (DIKW). In an on-going explorative and interpretive research project being conducted in New Zealand, public and private sector managers and senior executives have been interviewed to examine their perceptions on the interrelationship between wisdom and management decision-making. Grounded theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) techniques have been used to analyse the data. The findings of this study are reported in this paper. The paper has two main parts. In the first part, the author raises the question: how can the information systems that are implemented in organisations to effectively manage information and knowledge and to support managerial decisions be used to foster wisdom in management decision-making. The first part makes the case for further studies on the implementation of information systems in wise managerial decisionmaking. In the second part, the contribution of wisdom to the managerial decision-making process is discussed based on the empirical findings. Some practical implications and possible research questions are provided in the conclusion section.
