Application of Group Decision Support Systems in Marketing Education

A group decision support system (GDSS) exercise employing the GE Matrix for international market evaluation was conducted with an Executive M.B.A. class. A postexercise survey of subjects indicated support for using this technology to elicit ideas and evaluations from groups. This technology is recommended for marketing class exercises and group projects.
