Product Description

Product Description

Appropriate for all courses in Decision Support Systems (DSS), computerized decision making tools, and management support systems.

Todays networked computer systems enable executives to use information in radically new ways, to make dramatically more effective decisions -- and make those decisions more rapidly. Decision Support Systems and Intelligent Systems, Seventh Edition is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to todays revolutionary management support system technologies, and how they can be used for better decision making. In this thoroughly revised edition, the authors go far beyond traditional “decision support systems,” focusing far more coverage on Web-enabled tools, performance analysis, knowledge management, and other recent innovations. The authors introduce each significant new technology, show how it works, and offer practical guidance on integrating it into real-world organizations. Examples, products, services, and exercises are presented throughout, and the text has been revised for improved clarity and readability. New and enhanced coverage includes: state-of-the-art data mining, OLAP, expert system, and neural network software; revamped coverage of knowledge management; and a far greater emphasis on the use of Web technologies throughout. Also covered in detail: data warehousing, including access, analysis, visualization, modeling, and support. This edition also contains DSS In Action boxes presenting real business scenarios for the use of advanced management support technology. Decision Support Systems and Intelligent Systems, Seventh Edition is supported by a Web site containing additional readings, relevant links, and other supplements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book!, 6 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I would not recommend buying this book. It is full of errors and misleading information. It seems to me that the authors don't have enough knowledge about some of the topics, which therefore should have been left out of this book. The book seems to be more like an advertising brochure about the excellence of Decision Support Systems rather than an objective set of information based on scientific research.

Furthermore, there are too much unnecessary information. The small amounts of valuable information is snowed under the large extent of examples and cases.

A manufacturer of Decision support systems may find some arguments in this book to persuade executives to buy their systems, but system developers should not ever consider buying this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all technical, 28 Mar 2005
By A Customer
As a postgraduate AI student, this book was recommended reading in one of the modules, but I have to say it is not the right book if you want to get into the nuts and bolts of decision support systems. The book presents page upon page of non-specific examples and product advertisement through case-studies. Save your money and get a statistics/data analysis textbook instead.

By A Customer
I foudn this book extremely insightful and fascinating. The book is presented in a logical manner. The inserts give excellent real-world application. I commend the authors and challenge them to apply their style to other textbooks.
Thanks Turban and Aranson!
