is a computer system that typically encompasses mathematical models as well as informational databases and a user interface in order to provide recommended decisions to manager-users

A decision support system (DSS)

the term refers to an interactive computerized system that gathers and presents data from a wide range of sources, typically for business purposes

Abbreviated DSS

a national on-line book seller wants to begin selling its products internationally but first needs to determine if that will be a wise business decision

An example of DSS

There are a number of Decision Support Systems. These can be categorized into five types:

Communication-driven DSS, Data-driven DSS, Document-driven DSS, Knowledge-driven DSS,and Model-driven DSS.

are targeted systems that combine analytical for models with operational data and supportive interactive queries and analysis for middle managers who face semi-structured decision situations.

Decision support systems

systems are computer-based systems that provide top managers with the capability to attain easy access to internal and external information which is relevant to strategic decision making and other executive responsibilities

is ideally suited for building decision support systems due to its wide reach of data, interactive facilities, ad hoc reporting capabilities, quick development times, and simple Web-based deployment.
