Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature and impact of Decision Support Systems (DSS) in the public sector. The author presents insights and practical experiences gained during the implementation of a DSS for a community mental health system. The system, which incorporates goal programming and a multi-party decision process, highlights the importance of engaging stakeholders and involving them in the development and use of such systems. The author emphasizes the role of DSS as process-support tools, rather than mere answer-generators, arguing that adaptable and flexible systems are critical for success. They also challenge the notion of a strict distinction between model-oriented and data-oriented DSS, suggesting that successful implementations often require strong links to data management capabilities. The book explores the need to address equity issues in public sector decision-making, advocating for DSS that enable the incorporation of an equity dimension alongside activity and time dimensions. The author argues that public sector DSS should extend beyond two-dimensional frameworks commonly found in financial-oriented DSS generators. The author concludes that DSS can significantly impact organizational learning, development, and data management practices, as well as the decision-making process itself. By providing a comprehensive analysis of a real-world DSS implementation, this book offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in enhancing decision-making in the public sector.
