Running Head: DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

This system involves conducting research and implementing development projects with

which better support for decision makers is obtained. The origin of the system can be traced

during late 1950s by research work of Simon et al. of the Carnegie institute of Technology in

collaboration with Gerrity’s technical work at the MIT, in late 1960s. In decision making, he

composed it into three stages i.e. intelligence, design and decision making. Intelligence process

is involved in the search for problems while design develops alternatives and choice is a process

of analyzing alternatives and the most optimal for implementation.

Intense Research on Decision support system and its applications significantly underwent

evolution between 1970s and 1980s. It has since been embraced at different levels of

organizations including setting up decision makers support unit who address problem structuring,

managing operations, financial control and management, strategic decision making and support

for simulation and optimization. It is due to this increased demand for the systems applications

that led to Keen and Mortons developing a wider behavioral orientation for system analysis.

Complementary decision systems like Enterprise information system (EIS) and group decision

support systems (GDSS) have also been developed to address idea evaluation techniques and

communication facilities that enable teamwork. The need for advancing the old DSS system was

necessitated by factors such as

i) Dynamic business platform and intelligence that was addressed

by information systems, supply chain analysis and customer

relation management.

ii) Shift in technology from database systems to warehouse and

also from mainframe to the client system and adoption of

World Wide Web from single user models.
