This book represents an effort to document the intellectual history of Decision Support Systems in terms of contributions made through the combined efforts of many in the management information systems, decision support systems, and many other reference disciplines including management science, psychology, cognitive science, systems science, computer science, communication science, organization science, etc. This book makes a significant contribution to the literature in this field by providing an intellectual history of DSS, examining the intellectual structure, major themes, and reference disciplines of DSS, and investigating the intellectual relationships between the DSS area and other reference disciplines to give a broad picture of DSS fields over the last three and a half decades.
Reviews
“ . . . this book provides a current view of the DSS discipline and also presents the author’s views of where the DSS research is heading . . . Volumes that provide such overall view of a discipline provide a great service to all the stake holders in a field. It is heartening to see the role of individual contributions in a forest perspective. For the new students in DSS, it offers a great service to know where we have been and where we are going. I recommend this book to all researchers interested in Decision Support Systems.” – Dr. Ramesh Sharda, Regents Professor of Management Science and Information Systems, Oklahama State University
