Course Description
This course provides an in-depth study of Decision Support Systems (DSS) and their role in enhancing managerial decision-making. It explores the fundamental components of DSS, including mathematical models, databases, and user interfaces, and demonstrates how they support semi-structured problem-solving in business contexts. Students will learn methods of decision-making, reasoning, and inferencing, along with the application of operations research tools and optimization techniques. The course also introduces expert systems, knowledge acquisition, and model manipulation as part of DSS development. Through hands-on projects and practical case studies, students will design and implement DSS solutions, gaining both technical and managerial perspectives on improving organizational decision-making.
