what is the difference between an unstructured, semi-structured, and structured decision?
unstructured- are those in which the decision maker must provide judgement, evaluation, and insight to solve the problem. Each of these decisions are novel, important, and non-routine.
semi-structured- only part of the problem has a clear cut answer provided by an accepted procedure.
Structured- are repetitive and routine, and they involve a definite procedure for handling them so that they do not have to be treated each time as if they were new.
compare the descriptions of managerial behavior in the classical and behavioral models.
The classical model suggests that managers perform five classical functions. These functions are planning, organizing, coordinating, deciding, and controlling. Although the classical model describes formal managerial functions, it does not provide a description of what managers actually do. The behavioral models suggest that managerial behavior is less systematic, more informal, less reflective, more reactive, less well-organized, and somewhat frivolous. The behavioral models differ from the classical model in that managers perform a great deal of work at an unrelenting pace, managerial activities are fragmented, managers prefer speculation, managers prefer oral forms of communication, and managers give the highest priority to maintaining a diverse and complex web of contacts.
what is the difference between a decision support system and a management information system?
MIS- adresses structured problems like,fixed regularly scheduled reports based on data extracted and summarized from the firms underlying TPS.
DSS- supports semi structured and unstructured problems. What if analysis.
what are the three basic components of a DSS? Briefly describe each.
The three basic components of a DSS include a DSS database, DSS software system, and DSS user interface. The DSS database is a collection of current or historical data from
