Decision support systems (DSS) have become an increasingly important type of computer-based information system. However, there has been limited research on management's role, in DSS approval and administration. Because of this, the authors recently investigated eighteen decision support systems and report the findings here. The specific areas explored include motivations for developing a DSS, methods for evaluating the desirability of creating a DSS, planning and organizing for building a DSS, techniques for reviewing and controlling DSS projects, and managing a DSS as an organizational entity.

Keywords: administrative policies; Decision support systems (DSS); operating procedures; system planning and management
