Decision Support Systems

"This hands-on text goes beyond models and data to show you exactly how to offer the critical support companies need in order to thrive. The author focuses on how you can use what you already know about programming and modeling to develop systems that provide effective decision support." It "presents topics on three levels: general theory, implications for DSS design, and code development; spotlights relationships among the underlying theory, the implications of theory to DSS design, and the actual coding of DSS; highlights how applications can vary from country to country due to language and cultural differences; and, shows how to incorporate your ideas into the business environment (including platforms and software)."
