On the Legacy of Herbert Simon and his Contribution to Decision-making Support Systems and Artificial Intelligence

Herbert Simon is a key researcher in a number of areas of the IS field. Although his work has been used as like foundation for much research in DMSS, it is in the area of artificial intelligence that he has most directly contributed to the progress of scientific thinking. In this chapter, we examine his legacy and illustrate the impact of his research on DMSS and AI.
