Understanding Decision Support Systems for Global Enterprises

  • Chapter
Decision Support for Global Enterprises

Part of the book series: Annals of Information Systems ((AOIS,volume 2))

Abstract

Globalization of markets is changing the structure of business enterprises and hence the need for and design of computerized decision support systems. Trying to understand how decision support systems can and should evolve in a global business environment is difficult, but this article draws on current best practices, examples of deployments of available technology and trends to make some sense of the problem. Six deployment issues are examined for the five broad categories of decision support systems. The need for further research is apparent given the inadequacy of our current knowledge.
