Decision Making Processes

<p>Managerial decision-making has always involved the use of numerous distinct information resources. Modern managerial decision-making processes require a wealth of information that is enhanced and transformed into knowledge in order to take effective action. Mobility in business is increasingly exercising influence on core business processes of organisations. Recent advances in wireless technologies coupled with the rapid growth of mobile devices in business have led to a new era in business computing. Mobile Business Intelligence (Mobile BI) is a system that has been conceived to assist, accelerate and to enhance the managerial decision-making processes. Drawing from an array of previous studies that attempted to measure the value of Business Intelligence (BI) and other IT systems in organisations, this study develops a new kind of measure which is based on an understanding of the distinct properties of Mobile BI systems in an organisational-oriented context.</p>

The Impact

SYNOPSIS Business trends show that more and more employees are creating shadow IT systems—IT systems that are not sanctioned or monitored by the IT department. This paper examines how the use of shadow IT in product costing impacts managers' perceptions of information credibility and managerial decision making. Using two experiments, we find that participants view information from shadow IT systems as less credible and they are less impacted by and less willing to rely on costing reports produced from shadow IT systems versus non-shadow IT systems. We also find that although participants are concerned about the credibility of shadow IT systems, they are not more likely to find simple mathematical errors embedded in shadow IT costing reports relative to non-shadow IT reports. This suggests that although concerned about shadow IT systems, managers still do not exercise sufficient care in evaluating reports created using these systems. The results of our study should prove informative as shadow systems become more prevalent in organizations. Data Availability: Contact the authors.

Constant technological innovation and increasing competitiveness make the management of information a considerable challenge, requiring decision-making processes built on reliable and timely information from internal and external sources. Although available information increases, this does not mean that people automatically derive value from it. After years of significant investment to establish a technological platform that supports all business processes and strengthens the operational structure’s efficiency, most organizations are supposed to have reached a point where the implementation of information technology (IT) solutions for strategic purposes becomes possible and necessary. This explains the emergence of “business intelligence” (BI); a response to information needs for decision-making through intensive IT use. This chapter looks at BI projects in developing countries – specifically, in Brazil. If the management of IT is a challenge for companies in developed countries, what can be said about organizations struggling in unstable contexts such as those often prevailing in developing countries?

Mobile e-commerce,commonly referred to as m-commerce, is the ability to purchase goods anywherethrough a wireless Internet-enabled device. Current e-commerce providers, engagedthrough mobile devices, will find advantage in developing unique m-commercevalue propositions founded upon the specific dimensions of ubiquity, convenience,localization, and personalization.

Abstract The problem of proficiency evaluation of clinical chemistry laboratories is considered in terms of the accuracy, precision, and allowable limits of error of 10 common analytical procedures, and in terms of the proficiency of individual analysts and the occurrence of gross laboratory mistakes. The concept of the operational chart is developed, and its use is illustrated. Operational charts summarize basic quality-control information in a clear, concise, goal-oriented perspective which is useful for evaluating the performance of individual laboratories and for comparing groups of laboratories. The charts aid in identifying major problems relating to the reliability and clinical usefulness of laboratory results, and should facilitate managerial decision-making processes.

Introduction. Nowadays, management psychology structure consists of two major fundamental lines of research – psychological theory of managerial decision-making process and researches in the sphere of emotional intelligence and its influence on management activity and organizational resilience management overall. However, still there is almost total lack of researches carried out on the border line of these directions, causing a significant deterrence of development of each of these trends. In this regard, the main purpose of this research is to identify and explain the determinative influence of emotional intelligence on the stylistic differentiation of managerial decision-making processes. Materials and methods. The first group contains diagnostic methods - self-developed methodology of management decisions' stylistic differences diagnostics and D.V. Lucine's methodology «Emotional Intelligence». The second group contains, on the one hand, traditional mathematical-statistical data-processing methods (ANOVA), and on the other hand, methods based on the structural psychological analysis methodology. It is important to note that 304 people took part in this research on its different phases Results. Statistically significant differences were obtained both in the general level of emotional intelligence and in all its components (F = 3,02-8,54 at p≤0.03). Different style groups formed a certain sequence according to the degree of decrease in the total score of emotional intelligence: a group with a realization style – 104,3 points, with an authoritarian style – 93,9 points, with a marginal style – 89,7 points, with a situational style – 87,1 points, with a conniving style – 83,7 points. At the same time, the greatest organization of the structure was found among managers with a permissive style, and the least among respondents with a dominant authoritarian style. Discussion and conclusion. Much new evidence has been presented to identify and explain a general pattern based on the significant determinant influence of emotional intelligence on management decision-making styles. The research has proved that stylistic differences in the managerial decision-making processes stem from qualitatively heterogeneous structural patterns of emotional intelligence, but not only from its local characteristics.
