| Abstract | Characteristics of a decision support system (DSS) and factors that influence system design are described, along with a decision support database at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Reasons that the institutional research office is in a unique position to support decision-making are identified. A review of the literature of DSS briefly covers three types of managerial activities: strategic decision-making, management control, and operation control. Each of these activities requires separate planning and control systems. Attention is directed to: decision theory and style, which is an important precursor to the design of a DSS; the proliferation of personal computers; the institutional environment (e.g., graduation requirements of different schools within the university); and the conversion of data into information. At UMC, the development of a departmental database (DDB) provided a mechanism for integrating the data from different sources into the information needed for strategic decision-making and control. One of the primary functions the DDB performs is to convert all data from operational systems to a single departmental structure. The contents and uses of the DDB are described. (SW) |
