Question

Identify a true statement about decision support systems (DSSs).

a. DSSs facilitate improvements but do not necessarily cause them.
b. DSSs generate generic solutions and do not provide one-of-a-kind solutions.
c. DSSs focus on efficiency rather than effectiveness.
d. DSSs take more time than conventional decision-making processes.

Answer 1

a. facilitate improvements but do not necessarily cause them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decision Support Systems are interactive Information systems that assist decision makers in coming up with strategies that help the organisation achieve its goals .The model base of the DSS uses mathematical and statistical models to analyse information then it generates reports and suggest possible solutions that can be implemented .The system is capable of giving a specific solution and some even allow the decision makers to give input before suggesting the most applicable solution.The effectiveness of a DSS is equally as important as its efficiency .The DSS unlike the conventional decision-making process should be able to analyse information effectively and come up with solutions in the shortest possible time frame.
