Chunking decision information: a way to make big data actionable
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today's decision management systems focus on supporting selected decisions rather than including and linking pre- and post-decision information, that is, big data. The purpose of this research was to understand how decision information is organised in an international, cross-functional organisation. This paper is an attempt to understand how a five-element, object-oriented framework tailors decision information in the international humanitarian programme. How can chunking and organising decision information object-oriented be a way to make big data actionable? The application of the model helps to improve organising decision information.

Designing an organizational memory system to facilitate consultation and transparency of decision information

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Boards of directors as a group are the unit of analysis in this case study. This paper discusses developing an organizational memory system prototype for supporting the transparency of the board decision: to allow related people who are interested in a decision to understand what is being decided and why. It shows the promising potential for computer-based group support for promoting decision-making and developing organizational memory. The case study highlighted the absence of similar characteristics in existing support systems. Current recording systems are only able to trace one specific issue or one document and return a limited amount of information. The study showed that several individuals and groups may be involved in the evaluation and consultation processes. This shows the need for more effective memory systems to support consultation networks, particularly with respect to policy-related work. A database system was deemed to be a suitable foundation for a collective memory system as well as a requirement for the transparency of decision information. An effective organizational memory system can promote transparency by helping to track decision activities over time, by linking decision processes and documents to specific locations, by integrating information from many sources into a single location, and by describing the context of decisions.

Designing of an Enterprise-wide DSS: a laboratory experiment
- 2005

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper was to discuss the design and development of an ODSS, were several decision-makers, different organization units and several different views can be involved. The questions which arose were: what are these views, how can they influence the decision-making process, how can different views be integrated and how can the participation of members be taken into consideration? A fairly complex organizational environment with several business areas was therefore created, from which decision system support prototypes were developed. These prototypes were developed to simplify both synchronous and asynchronous communication procedures, the exchange of information and information retrieval.

Linking and Organizing Decision Information Object-oriented Promote Using Different DSS Technologies
- 2014
-
Ingår i: DSS 2.0 – Supporting Decision Making With New Technologies. - 0922-6389 .- 1879-8314. - 9781614993988 ; 261, s. 120-131

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus in current decision management systems is on supporting selected decisions and transactional processes, rather than including decisions and information resulting from decisions and action processes over time. Thus, specific information is tailored to use specific DSS technology. The purpose of this research was to understand how decision information is organized in a complex, decision-rich organization. Documentation and archival records are the basis of this case study. An object-oriented framework with five key elements for linking decisions and information is introduced: issue, based-on, decision, agents, and consequence. It is suggested that an overall object-oriented approach would contribute to clarifying the decision context, the relationship to other decisions, and defining the roles and responsibilities of the decision and action team. Thus, the framework as a platfonn facilitates using different DSS technologies.

An object-oriented framework with five key elements for linking decisions and information is introduced. It is suggested that an overall object-oriented approach would contribute to clarifying the decision context, defining what issues are addressed, identifying who is involved, establishing the scope and bounds of the decision, and defining the roles and responsibilities of the decision and action team, the relationship to other decisions, and how the information will be used in future decisions.

Support Consultation by Growing Agreements
- 2002
-
Ingår i: Decision Support in the Internet Age. - Cork, Ireland. - 1860762468 ; , s. 377-386

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper deals with consultation network and focuses on the use of information technology in supporting policy making in organizations. In particular, it tries to support those decisions that usually are made by top management-teams in an organization, and thus may affect the whole organization. In emergent organizations that are continuously influenced by dynamic elements such as agents, information, and environment, decision problems and decision making processes are variable and unpredictable. Therefore, in this research we focused on supporting consultation on organizational issues by support growing, visualizing, and distribution of agreements on situations and decisions.

The structure of policy making -a technology to support organizational consultations
- 1999

Ingår i: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of Decision Sciences Institute, Athens. ; I, s. 647-649
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper purposes to supports policy-makers decision making in organizations and presents an agreement-oriented decision knowledge construction.The key component of this design is the use of a display system, which captures the key issues and ideas during the decision process, and creates shared understanding in a team. We propose to build a prototype of the system, built around readily available software, whenever possible and laboratory test the use of the system.

Towards a Consultation Society

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We live in a time of transition, where the old industrial society is slowly being replaced by a post-industrial society. This new world is designated a ‘consultation society’ in this paper. This is a society in which one not only has to, but actually wants to consult more and more with others and find solutions to problems together. The question is whether information and communication technology can support the consultation society and if so, how. This paper argues the importance of consultation as motor of society and use of information technology in supporting consultation and policy-making process. It discusses the dynamic and emergent decision making process: why should we consult, potential consultation problems, and the main consultation components: people, information and procedure. The major criteria for effective consultation that must be considered are clarity an achievement of purpose; enable relevant stakeholders to have meaningful opportunity to influence the decision outcomes; a constructive involvement mechanism; and the timely sharing of adequate knowledge of the consultation issues.
