Evaluation of a decision support system for credit management decisions

A Motivational Framework For Understanding IS Use And Decision Performance

In particular, IS are intended to support decision-making (Keen & Scott-Morton, 1978), increase decision quality (Kanungo, Sharma, & Jain, 2001;Kasper 1996;Singh, 1998), enhance effectiveness and productivity (Forgionne & Kohli, 1996), serve as a tool for analyzing and solving complex tasks (Balakrishnan & Jacob, 1995), and attain system success (Kohli & Devaraj, 2002). However, "(i)nformation technology adoption and use in the workplace remains a central concern of information systems research and practice" (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000, p. 186).…”

Improving Communication for Management of Social-ecological Systems in High Mountain Areas

“…N Institutionalization of new methodologies and tools: The proposed new methodologies and tools for the management of natural resources should be coupled with a subsequent phase for their institutionalization. However, real institutionalization often requires considerable time for a perspective change in SES management (El Sherif 1990;Kanungo et al 2001).

The manual examinations of these combinatorial options is often difficult for decision-makers, and as such, studies (Kanungo et al, 2001) have shown decision support systems to be useful for such situations.…”
