Excerpt from the Book
INFORMATION SYSTEMS, DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
In the market economy, when the relationship of the product-market - competition becomes more and more complex, the task of the deciders is increasingly difficult. A modern organization must have a management style based on the flexibility, dynamism and foresight.
In conditions of diversifying of the current economic-social environment, adopting the decision involves not only the call to inspiration, talent or luck, but also to use the scientific methods to approach and resolve the leading process dilemmas of the economic systems.
The problem of the decision-making is the activities difficulty of the collecting, processing and selection of the organization information, in general. The relevant integrated information into the decision-making is an important resource for an organization, when there is quality and obtained and used it in a right time. The decisions-making, therefore, is based on the complex, operational and quality information.
