Functional Integration of Decision Making Support

Abstract

Because of the importance to individual, group, and organizational success, information systems research has examined ways to improve support for decision making for the last three decades. The research has generated a variety of information systems to provide the necessary support. In the process, there has been an evolution from simple data access and reporting to complex analytical, creative, and artificially intelligent support for decision making (Holsapple & Whinston, 1996).
