The role of information systems is very important for companies to be able tosupport every operational activity and assist in the decision-making process. Therehave been many companies that use information systems to support their businessprocesses so that by using this information system, the company's competitiveadvantage can be achieved. The formulation of the problem in this study is how therole of accounting information systems in management decision making at PT.Abadi Medan Jaya Japaris ?. The research objective is to identify and analyze therole of accounting information systems in management decision making at PT.Abadi Medan Jaya Japaris. This study uses simple linear regression analysis,determination test and t test, with the help of the SPSS version 20.00. Based on theresults of hypothesis testing, it shows that t count > t table, namely 18.905>2.03951, then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that the accountinginformation system variable has a positive and significant effect on the decisionmaking variable at PT. Abadi Medan Jaya Japaris. Which means that theaccounting information system plays an important role for management in makingdecisions at PT. Abadi Medan Jaya Japaris. In addition to the determination test,it is known that the percentage of the relationship between variable X accountinginformation system and variable Y is used. The determination test is used todetermine the influence of the accounting information system on decision makingof 0.920 or 92% while the remaining 0.08 or 8% is influenced by other factors thatare not researched in this study

Management Decision Making

Geographic information systems emerged in the 1970s and have become a significant decision-making tool as their capabilities have been enhanced. This chapter discusses various GIS applications and highlights issues that public managers should consider when evaluating implementation of a geographic information system. GIS applications provide benefits at the planning level by producing maps efficiently, and at the management decision-making level through an ability to geographically display important information for policy-level decisions. While GIS analysis can be a powerful tool, there are a number of issues that pubic managers should consider in order to achieve effective implementation and use of geographic information systems.

Management Decision Making

Geographic information systems emerged in the 1970s and have become significant decision-making tools as their capabilities have been enhanced. This chapter includes a brief discussion of various GIS applications and a more detailed discussion of issues that public managers should consider when evaluating implementation of a geographic information system. GIS applications provide benefits at the basic level in terms of producing maps efficiently, at the planning level through the use of database applications, and at the management decision-making level through an ability to access relational databases for policy level decisions. Issues impacting GIS implementation include: needs assessment, project planning, access to public records, liability issues, public and private partnerships, dissemination of information and privacy issues. Public managers should be aware of difficulties associated with justification of costs associated with GIS implementation and that a hesitancy exists on the part of GIS program managers to share missteps and implementation failures. <BR>

This paper proposes a framework for developing management intelligent systems (MiS). The proposed framework identifies the main management functions, intelligent systems and decision support systems (DSS) for planning, organizing, leading and controlling, and their corresponding applications as the core components of MiS. It integrates the main management functions with intelligent systems and DSS in a context of decision making by managers in organizations. This paper also examines intelligent systems for management and management decision making. The approach proposed in this paper might facilitate research and development of MiS, management, intelligent systems, and information systems.
