This article develops strategic decision tables to be used by management in bidding based on optimal duration costs. In addition, a process is proposed to find the optimal economic duration of the project using crashing techniques, the simplex method of linear programming, and game theory.  Standardized software packages for Decision Support Systems (DSS) are used in facilitating the calculations.

Electronic Commerce (e-commerce) is an advanced online business tool that allows many companies to launch their websites and helps customers search their specific products shown on the websites. Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are computerized tools designed to facilitate strategic decision making. With the support of data mining and business intelligence methods, DSSs can effectively increase the performance of decision making and can present a sophisticated method of managerial thinking in a timely and effective manner toward gaining competitive advantage. The chapter argues that utilizing e-commerce and DSSs has the potential to enhance business performance and reach strategic goals in modern business.

Competing in global marketplace has pressured managers respond to shifting market trends by increasing product quality, business process reengineering, and decreasing time to market for new products. Within emerging economies top executives have realized that adoption of appropriate information technologies such a decision support systems (DSS) and group decision support systems (GDSS) have led to changes in the existing organizational structure and communication mechanisms. This paper explores the advantages and constraints of DSS and GDSS in formulating manufacturing strategies in emergent economies. We argued that to fit appropriate information technology to organizational design top executive would benefit from strategic information systems planning process. This process enables top executives to invest in appropriate information system that fits their structural arrangements and organizational culture. Moreover, we explored the impact of DSS and GDSS on executive decision-making capabilities. We also explored the methodology for implementation of appropriate information systems in manufacturing firms in emergent economies.

Recently, the concept of intelligent energy systems becomes more popular in Russia. In order to implement such systems, it is required both development and usage of modern information technologies to manage technological infrastructure, and upgrade of this infrastructure. In turn, infrastructure upgrade requires a strategic decision-making for energy sector development. To provide a high quality of such decisions, intellectualization of the process of making them is required. This article deals with usage of agent-service approach for development of intelligent decision support systems (IDSS). Concepts of agent and multiagent system are being considered. Detailed description of agentservice approach and architecture of a typical IDSS, used in this approach, is provided. Also, article considers usage of agent-service approach for development of IDSS “Situation polygon” (for strategic decision-making support in energy sector) and web-oriented information-analytical system WIS (for impact assessment of the energy sector on geoecology). In the future, we plan to add additional functionality in these systems, in particular, to provide in the “Situation polygon” an automatic setting of the values of connections in cognitive maps based on the values of connections in the ontology, and to add in WIS the possibility of calculating the trajectory of the transfer of harmful substances.
