11.1 Managers and Decision Making Management
7
The Manager’s Job and Decision Making Managers have three basic roles (Mintzberg 1973): Interpersonal roles Informational roles Decisional roles
8
The Manager’s Job & Decision Making (continued) Decisions and Decision making
9
Decision Making Process
10
Why Managers Need IT Support The number of alternatives to be considered constantly increases. Decisions must be made under time pressure. Decisions are more complex. Decision makers can be in different locations and so is the information.
11
A Framework for Computerized Decision Analysis
12
Problem Structure The first dimension deals with the problem structure, where does the decision making processes fall along the continuum ranging from highly structured to highly unstructured decisions. Structured Unstructured Semistructured
13
The Nature of Decisions The second dimension of decision support deals with the nature of decisions Operational control Management control Strategic planning
14
11.2 Business Intelligence (BI) Two types of BI Systems: Those that provide data analysis tools Multidimensional data analysis (or online analytical processing) Data mining Decision support systems Those that provide information in structured format Digital dashboards
15
How Business Intelligence Works (Figure 11.3)
16
Multidimensional Data Analysis Provides users with a look at what is happening or what has happened. Allows users to analyze data in such a way that they can quickly answer business questions.
17
Data Mining Data mining performs two basic operations: Predicting trends and behaviors Identifying previously unknown patterns and relationships
18
Decision Support Systems (DSS) Decision support systems DSS capabilities Sensitivity analysis What-if analysis Goal-seeking analysis

Organizational Decision Support System (ODSS) Organizational Decision Support System (ODSS) is a DSS that focuses on an organizational task or activity involving a sequence of operations and decision makers.
21
Digital Dashboards Digital Dashboards: Provide rapid access to timely information. Provide direct access to management reports. Are very user friendly and supported by graphics.

11.3 Data Visualization Systems The Power of Visualization Even though a picture is “worth a thousand words,” we have to be very careful about just what we are seeing. Remember, on the Internet, it is “user beware!”
