Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the design and testing of interactive display systems intended to aid management in the planning process. Despite the theoretical existence of computer-driven visual displays for management planning, there is a lack of proven evidence regarding their efficacy. The author discusses experiments conducted at Westinghouse and MIT to assess the utility of these systems. Through these experiments, the author identifies the conditions under which such systems are beneficial and quantifies their impact on decision-making. The book explores the strategy for developing and evaluating these systems, emphasizing the importance of focusing on a specific decision-maker and problem. It highlights the need for incremental implementation, starting with a significant problem and expanding the system's scope as the decision-maker adapts. The author stresses the significance of appropriate software design, outlining the goals of simplicity, ease of interaction, general-purpose characteristics, modularity, fail-safe capability, and hardware independence. By adhering to these principles, the author successfully developed a software system that supports interactive management problem-solving in an unstructured environment. This book not only provides practical guidance for designing and evaluating interactive display systems but also contributes to the research on managerial decision-making processes. By modeling these processes and monitoring system usage, the author gains valuable insights into how managers make decisions and how specific types of decisions are handled. Ultimately, the book demonstrates the potential of interactive display systems to enhance managerial decision-making, providing valuable tools for line and staff management.
