Abstract

Information requirements determination for Decision Support Systems (DSS) is often inadequately handled due to premature structuring thus precluding dynamic changes in the framing of the problem by managers. A review of relevant concepts in the behavioural decision making literature is provided. Case studies from three large business organizations illustrate system problems with information requirements. The authors suggest prototyping as a more valid approach to determining information requirements.
