摘要：The concept of creating and considering alternative designs in the system development process is integral to design methodology in many fields. In MIS the idea is little implemented despite the existence of some techniques that facilitate the consideration of alternative designs. Some of these techniques are reviewed and evaluated in terms of their utility in MIS.

What is needed is a serious look at the potential for integrating word processing into management information systems. One approach is to evaluate theoretical constructs of management information systems that indicate ar...

The Management Information System (MIS) literature discusses a communication gap between the organization oriented users and the more technical systems staff. It is often hypothesized that systems personnel and users are different in terms of personality and behavior characteristics and that these differences are one of the primary reasons for the existence of a communication gap...

摘要：This article describes a study performed to (1) investigate senior executives' perceptions of decision support systems concepts, and (2) identify executives' needs and desired benefits related to decision support systems. A series of indepth interviews was conducted with senior-level industrial executives. The findings suggest three guidelines for the design of effective decision support systems: (1) executive users should be directly involved in the development and evaluation of the initial d...
