| Abstract: | Microcomputer-based decision support systems (DSSs) offer many advantages over mainframe DSSs, the greatest of which is the cost7sol; benefit ratio. The use of microcomputers, however, causes numerous management control problems. Because of the limitations of microcomputers, IS managers must pay special attention to the design and implementation of microcomputer-based DSSs. With the emergence of AI technology, most managers should benefit from the integration of AI with DSSs. This article addresses issues relevant to the design of intelligent microcomputer-based DSSs from an applications standpoint. The article also presents conceptual frameworks and strategies for implementing such a system |
