Although academic effort planning and faculty merit review are done annually, they are by no means routine and structured tasks. Many studies have dealt with aiding the decision process related to the above tasks. Unfortunately, these studies or models are either oversimplified or too narrow in scope. This study develops a decision support system (DSS) which integrates and supports the decision processes of academic effort planning, merit review, and related activities. The support system is developed based on the concept that a DSS is a network of subsystem interfaces.

This chapter proposes concepts for designing and developing decision support systems that acknowledge, explore and exploit the fact that conversations among people are the top-level “supporting device” for decision-making. The goal is to design systems that support, configure and induce increasingly effective and efficient decision-making conversations. This includes allowing and motivating participation in decision-making conversations of any people who may contribute positively to decision-making and to the quality of its outcomes. The proposal sees the sum total of decisions being taken in an organization as the global decision process of the organization. The global decision process of the organization is structured in decision processes corresponding to organizational domains. Each organizational domain has associated a unit decision process. If the organizational domain contains organizational sub-domains, then its compound decision process is the union and composition of its unit decision process and the unit decision processes of its sub-domains. The proposal can be seen as extending, enlarging and integrating group decision support systems into an organization-wide system. The resulting organizational decision support system, by its conversational nature, may become the kernel decision support system of an organization or enterprise. In this way, the global decision process of the organization may be made explicit and monitored. It is believed that this proposal is original.

The goal of this chapter is to describe a set of concepts for the design of information systems supporting the global decision process in an organization from a management point of view. Managers are responsible for decisions that are crucial for the success of the organization. Supporting decision taking by management in an integrated way means to support the global decision process of the organization and increase its efficiency and resilience. The system is envisaged so that i) each manager has available a decision dashboard to support the flux of decision-making for which he or she is responsible; ii) the dashboards also allow managers to crowdsource from non-managers different aspects of decision iii) the dashboards are connected in a conversational network; iv) this conversational network is so structured to support the global decision process of the organization.

Today, online shops are in great demand by the people of Indonesia. Lazada, Shopee, Buka Lapak are a number of online stores that are quite popular in Indonesia. Students of the Ganesha Polytechnic are a small part of Indonesian people who are interested in buying at online stores. There is an increase and discussion among the Polytechnic students of Ganesha, in this case the difference is comparing which shops are the best. This debate is the purpose of this study. SuperDecisions is a decision support system which is an important requirement in the process of selecting the best online store. In the process of selecting a store, researchers also dare to use the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method as a problem modeling for complex results. The results of applying the ANP method to Shopee's decision process are the best online stores according to 3.80 Ganesha Polytechnic students, followed by Buka Lapak weighing 3.73 and Lazada with a weight of 2.47

The problem that currently happens in the decision process of the nutritional status for toddlers is often based on manual calculation. However, the manual calculation is prone to data duplication, insufficient data, and a lack of availability of the data itself, which can hinder the monitoring status and the report. Therefore, to ease the determination and calculation process of the nutritional status of toddlers, the researchers conduct a study using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The SAW method is selected because it defines the best alternative and some other alternatives based on specified or preferred criteria. This research is conducted by finding the weight value of each attribute and rating the data to determine the nutritional status of toddlers. For the result, the researchers find there are no toddlers with malnutrition in Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga, Program Kerja Kelompok Kerja IV (PKK POKJA IV) of Depok.
