Information Technology and its Application in the Area of IT Management Information and Decision Support Systems

The importance of determining a top management supportive strategy in the systematic process of strategic planning for decision support is such that it has attracted the attention of many researchers. So far, various methods have been identified and the prioritization of the macro strategies (such as aggressive, repulsive and fixation ones) and the formulation of micro strategies have been presented. However, while prioritizing and selecting a proper systemic necessary strategy, organizations are facing a huge dilemma and that is the large volume of raw data for decision making process. These data cannot help with the managers in their decision making. Thus, individuals are always seeking systems which could convert data into positive necessary processed information. The main faults with the existing method are lose of a considerable part of the collected data during the process, insufficient attention to the condition of unreliability and precise formulation of issues whose nature are complex and inexact. Another limitation is the involvement of the decision maker’s mind in many factors in the course of decision making concurrently and sometimes those of pure political ones.
