This chapter describes the results from a case study using information theory to examine the effectiveness of communicating using group decision support system (GDSS) technology. At its most basic level, information theory provides the means to measure the efficiency of communication systems. Using information theory as the theoretical foundation, this chapter examines how the use of GDSS facilitated computer-mediated communication (CMC) for one particular business with respect to entropy, redundancy, and noise, which are key components in information theory.

Group Decision Support System

To be able to utilise opportunities in a radically changing business environment, various organisations are transforming their practices towards open innovation processes. Openness does not, however, mean any kind of looseness in innovation management but calls for coordination and facilitation. The challenge for the management in the open innovation process is to find out the appropriate methods and practices for the utilisation of external knowledge resources. One of the first attempts, this study brings two widely utilised innovation management methods — scenarios and the group decision support system (GDSS) — to the open innovation context and suggests guidelines for the management of the open innovation process in an inter-organisational context.

A Group Decision Support System (GDSS) can be an effective tool in teaching groups of college students. This article describes a typical GDSS in use at the University of Mississippi and shows how the system can be used in teaching at the college level. A GDSS can enhance communication and learning in seminar, foreign language, and hearing-impaired classes. Teachers may interactively test their students with a GDSS and can present a lecture through the system. Moderate to large groups involved in exchanging comments or preferences experience more efficient and effective communication along with greater group satisfaction when using the system.

This paper was conducted a survey of research findings related to decision-making in groups using weighting techniques This paper conducts a survey of research findings related to decision-making in groups using weighting techniques, therefore, a new weighting model can be proposed.. In order to make a decision, this model works based on the weighting parameters, criteria or decision makers (DM) to give ranking preference in the decision results. Weighting could be done objectively or subjectively by statistical calculations. Subjective weighting based on an understanding or expertise of the decision-making process, furthermore, a numerical value was needed to make it objective. The previous weighting models need to be modified for the development of group decision support systems (GDSS). It is required to accommodate the interests of all stakeholders to link the DM relationship. We formed several groups of weighting methods that currently use for the trend of group decision-making (GDM). It showed that the classical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models are still dominant in solving GDSS problems, therefore, it was necessary to apply hybrid MCDM with an approach method of stakeholders models and social networks (SN) to improve decision model that has been applied in the previous research.

Individual Preferences

In multi-criteria decision making, any Group Decision Support System (GDSS) requires a social judgment model for calculation of weights on decision alternatives, and tabulation of individual votes toward a consensus. One could assess a Social Welfare Function - such as Keeneys - to aggregate individual cardinal preferences or utilities into a group preference. Alternatively, one could use Social Choice Functions - such as Condorcet, Borda, Copeland, and Eigenvector - to aggregate individual ordinal preferences or rankings into a group ranking. This study empirically investigates the consensus between individual preferences and the group preference derived from various aggregation methods.

AbstractThis article demonstrates experimentally that in the context of dyadic conflict, patterns of interpersonal communication (PIC), supported by a particular Group Decision Support System (GDSS) technology, affect the quality of decision making. A GDSS technology that supports confrontation of strongly-internalized personal meanings appears less efficient in supporting the resolution of ethical dilemmas than in stimulating interdependent co-construction of shared-meanings between opposing parties. Intersubjectivity and reciprocity are adapted when the conflict is linked to variables of personality and cultural identity. GDSSs are an efficient tool to support intergroup communication and relations. This article discusses the direct implications of our research for the study of intercultural negotiation and conflict resolution.

AbstrakSebagai  daerah yang rawan bencana dari tsunami, dan abrasi gelombang laut, dibutuhkan suatu lokasi yang layak untuk dapat dijadikan suatu daerah pemukiman untuk mendukung perkembangan perekonomian, sarana dan prasarana, serta sosial ekonomi di pemerintah kota Lhokseumawe. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan penentuan kelayakan lokasi pemukiman yang layak untuk direkomendasi menjadi sebuah pemukiman yang akan dibangun. Sehingga perlu dilakukan evaluasi terhadap areal fisik pemukiman, sarana dan prasarana, dan sosial-ekonomi yang akan direkomendasi menjadi suatu lokasi pemukiman. Masukan dari masyarakat sangat dibutuhkan untuk mengetahui masalah lokasi yang akan direkomendasi menjadi sebuah pemukiman. Hal ini dilakukan agar pihak pengawas mengetahui dan dapat mengantisipasi masalah-masalah yang terjadi pada lokasi tersebut. Penerapan sistem pendukung keputusan kelompok atau Group Decision Support System (GDSS) yang dibuat menggunakan  metode VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija  Kompromisno Resenje in Serbia) dapat membantu para pengambil keputusan dalam melakukan perankingan nilai masing-masing alternatife solusi, entropy sebagai pembobotannya dari setiap kriteria.. Sementara metode Copeland score, sebagai salah satu metode voting yang tekniknya berdasarkan pengurangan frekwensi kemenangan dengan frekwensi kekalahan dari perbandingan berpasangan untuk melakukan voting terhadap solusi yang akan di ambil para decision maker. Kata kunci—  GDSS, Vikor, Entropy, Copeland Score, lokasi pemukiman.  AbstrakAs a disaster-prone areas of the tsunami, ocean waves and abrasion, it takes a decent location to be used as a residential area to support economic development, infrastructure, social and economic development of Regional Goverment of Lhokseumawe. Therefore, it is necessary to have feasibility determination of viable residential locations as recommendation to be a settlement. So it is necessary to evaluate the physical area of settlements, infrastructure, economic and social development that will be recommended to be a residential location. Public suggestion is needed to determine the problem locations to be recommended to a settlement. The application of group decision support systems or Group Decision Support System (GDSS) are made using the VIKOR method (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje in Serbia) that is able to assist decision makers in the ranking value to each solution alternatives, entropy wih weigt for criterias, the method of Copeland score, as one method of voting is the technique by reducing the frequency of victory with the defeat of the comparison frequency pairs can be used to vote for a solution that will take the decision makers. Keyword— GDSS, Vikor, Copeland Score, Entropy, location determination.
