Week 8 - Decision Support Systems (DSS)

This week we will consider DSS, which are intended to assist, rather than replace, a manager in making a decision.  We will see a real example of a DSS used in industry.

  1. Hey Kay, Just want to know should all the group members'(individual work) / decision's query must be submitted in one access file?

  2. Yes, there should be one database for the team, and one spreadsheet for the team... and one report (with a group section followed by the individual sections for each team member).

    You might find it useful in the individual sections to show which part of the ERD is used by queries for the specific decision chosen (i.e. identify the system boundary as it relates to the chosen decision as a subset of the entire database used by the team).

    We need to be able to run all the queries in a single database environment for each team.
