LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Explain the difference between transactional
information and analytical information. Be sure
to provide an example of each
2. Define TPS, DSS, and EIS and explain how
an organization can use these systems to
make decisions and gain competitive
advantages
3. Describe the three quantitative models
typically used by decision support systems
2-6

4. Describe the relationship between digital
dashboards and executive information
systems
5. Identify the four types of artificial
intelligence systems
2-7
DECISION MAKING
• Reasons for the growth of decision-making
information systems
– People need to analyze large amounts of
information
– People must make decisions quickly
– People must apply sophisticated analysis
techniques, such as modeling and forecasting, to
make good decisions
– People must protect the corporate asset of
organizational information
2-8
DECISION MAKING
• Model – a simplified representation or
abstraction of reality
• IT systems in
an enterprise
2-9
TRANSACTION PROCESSING
SYSTEMS
• Moving up through the organizational pyramid users move
from requiring transactional information to analytical
information
2-10
TRANSACTION PROCESSING
SYSTEMS
• Transaction processing system (TPS) - the basic business
system that serves the operational level (analysts) in an
organization
• Online transaction processing (OLTP) – the capturing of
transaction and event information using technology to (1)
process the information according to defined business rules,
(2) store the information, (3) update existing information to
reflect the new information
• Online analytical processing (OLAP) – the manipulation of
information to create business intelligence in support of
strategic decision making
2-11
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
• Decision support system (DSS) – models information to
support managers and business professionals during the
decision-making process
• Three quantitative models used by DSSs include:
1. Sensitivity analysis – the study of the impact that
changes in one (or more) parts of the model have on
other parts of the model
2. What-if analysis – checks the impact of a change in
an assumption on the proposed solution
3. Goal-seeking analysis – finds the inputs necessary
to achieve a goal such as a desired level of output
2-12
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
• What-if analysis
2-13
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
• Goal-seeking analysis
2-14
DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
• Interaction between a TPS and a DSS
2-15
EXECUTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
•
Executive information system (EIS) – a
specialized DSS that supports senior level
executives within the organization
•
Most EISs offering the following capabilities:
– Consolidation – involves the aggregation of
information and features simple roll-ups to complex
groupings of interrelated information
– Drill-down – enables users to get details, and
details of details, of information
– Slice-and-dice – looks at information from different
perspectives
2-16
EXECUTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS
• Interaction between a TPS and an EIS
2-17
Digital Dashboards
• Digital dashboard – integrates information
from multiple components and presents it in a
unified display
2-18
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Intelligent system – various commercial
applications of artificial intelligence
• Artificial intelligence (AI) – simulates
human intelligence such as the ability to
reason and learn
2-19
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• The ultimate goal of AI is the ability to build a
system that can mimic human intelligence
2-20
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
•
Four most common categories of AI include:
1. Expert system – computerized advisory
programs that imitate the reasoning processes
of experts in solving difficult problems
2. Neural Network – attempts to emulate the way
the human brain works
– Fuzzy logic – a mathematical method of handling
imprecise or subjective information
2-21
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Four most common categories of AI include:
3. Genetic algorithm – an artificial intelligent
system that mimics the evolutionary, survival-ofthe-fittest process to generate increasingly
better solutions to a problem
4. Intelligent agent – special-purposed
knowledge-based information system that
accomplishes specific tasks on behalf of its
users
2-22
Data Mining
• Data-mining systems sift instantly through
information to uncover patterns and
relationships
• Data-mining systems include many forms
of AI such as neural networks and expert
systems
2-23

strategic initiatives including:
– Supply chain management (SCM)
– Customer relationship management (CRM)
– Business process reengineering (BPR)
– Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
2-27
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
• Supply Chain Management (SCM) –
involves the management of information
flows between and among stages in a
supply chain to maximize total supply
chain effectiveness and profitability
2-28
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
•
Four basic components of supply chain
management include:
1. Supply chain strategy – strategy for managing all
resources to meet customer demand
2. Supply chain partner – partners throughout the
supply chain that deliver finished products, raw
materials, and services.
3. Supply chain operation – schedule for production
activities
4. Supply chain logistics – product delivery process
2-29
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
• Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble (P&G) SCM
2-30
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
• Effective and efficient SCM systems can
enable an organization to:
– Decrease the power of its buyers
– Increase its own supplier power
– Increase switching costs to reduce the threat of
substitute products or services
– Create entry barriers thereby reducing the threat
of new entrants
– Increase efficiencies while seeking a competitive
advantage through cost leadership

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
MANAGEMENT
• Customer relationship management
(CRM) – involves managing all aspects of a
customer’s relationship with an organization
to increase customer loyalty and retention
and an organization's profitability
• Many organizations, such as Charles
Schwab and Kaiser Permanente, have
obtained great success through the
implementation of CRM systems
2-33
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
MANAGEMENT

analysis and redesign of workflow within and
between enterprises
– The purpose of BPR is to make all business
processes best-in-class
2-36
BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING
• Reengineering the Corporation – by Michael Hammer and
James Champy - recommends seven BPR principles
2-37
Finding Opportunity Using BPR
• A company can improve
the way it travels the road
by moving from foot to
horse and then horse to
car
• BPR looks at taking a
different path, such as an
airplane which ignore the
road completely
