Basic Input

The basic condition for the proper configuration of inputs and outputs in a transport company is the ability to optimise, build, and implement a strategy based on carefully selected components of the information and decision-making system, capable of taking into account the different optimisation criteria for each level and of gathering and generating information useful in the process of developing a strategy. Within this system, IT tools that increase the efficiency of the technical dimension of decision-making processes are useful. For Polish road transport companies, economically speaking, the basic input and output record-keeping systems are accounting systems, used by nearly 89% of the surveyed entities. In the operational context, 58% of the entities declare using resource management systems. Nearly 18% of the companies possess a formal strategy.

Technology Convergence

Efficient and effective urban management systems for Ubiquitous Eco Cities require having intelligent and integrated management mechanisms. This integration includes bringing together economic, socio-cultural and urban development with a well-orchestrated, transparent and open decision-making system and necessary infrastructure and technologies. In Ubiquitous Eco Cities, telecommunication technologies play an important role in monitoring and managing activities via wired and wireless networks. Particularly, technology convergence creates new ways in which information and telecommunication technologies are used and formed the backbone of urban management. The 21st century is an era where information has converged, in which people are able to access a variety of services, including internet- and location- based services, through multi-functional devices and provides new opportunities in the management of Ubiquitous Eco Cities. This paper discusses developments in telecommunication infrastructure and trends in convergence technologies and their implications on the management of Ubiquitous Eco Cities.

The implementation of two management systems, the intermodal and public transportation management systems, in the Georgia Department of Transportation is examined. Early experience with this implementation suggests that key elements of an implementation strategy are characteristic of success in such an organizational environment. These include establishing organizational responsibilities, establishing guidance principles, assessing the organizational planning and decision-making processes, assessing the environmental context for the management system, establishing an implementation strategy that has tangible intermediate results, and identifying an agency “champion” for implementation. The challenge of implementing management systems within any organization is understanding the decision-making process and the information needs of the agency decision makers.

Internal Accounting

Polish business entities operate based on accounting principles in accordance with the Accounting Act and the accounting policy established by the directors of the entities. Changes in the balance sheet law have a significant effect on the internal accounting principles applied in companies. In the last three years, Polish accounting regulations have been adapted to the solutions used in the European Union.The aim of the paper is to analyse information aspects of accounting, including financial reporting in Poland in the decision-making processes of internal recipients, taking into account the changes in legal regulations.The research method was the analysis of the literature and legal acts, and a practical example.Changes in legislation influence the accounting policies defined by the managers of business entities. Companies can simplify their accounting principles including those concerning reporting. However, the simplifications should not adversely affect the economic decisions of the entity's manager and the recipients of the financial statements.The lack of accurate financial data from the accounting system may adversely affect the decision-making of the unit's manager in management processes. As it results from the analysis of the literature of the subject and the accounting systems of small enterprises, financial information from accounting is necessary for effective business management. Therefore, managers apply simplifications in accounting quite carefully.

The aim of this article is to reveal how care workers in the home-help service interpret the influence of family care partners when older people’s relocation to a residential home is considered. Based on interviews with 33 care workers, this article investigates how they use their discretion. The analysis shows that the care workers express ambivalence towards family care workers and that they informally influence decision-making processes despite prevailing care management systems. The conclusion drawn are that welfare ideas in transformation and diffuse areas of responsibility may not benefit either care workers, family care partners or a care receiver’s self-determination.

Support Decision Making

With the advent of the knowledge economy and the growing importance of knowledge societies, organizations are constantly seeking new ways of leveraging knowledge assets to support Decision Making (DM) processes. This chapter presents an initial insight to the little-researched phenomenon of how Knowledge Management Systems (KMSs) can support DM processes in organizations. A synthesis of ideas from a literature review suggests a new conceptual framework with several critical factors that organizations should take into account to assess the usage of KMSs tools in supporting DM processes in organizations. The proposed framework, “USUQ,” will benefit managers in both public and private sectors in knowing how the Usage, Satisfaction, Usefulness, and the Quality of using KMSs can support DM processes.

Predmet raziskovanja so procesi odločanja na podlagi večkriterijskih odločitvenih modelov na podlagi mehke logike. Kot interdisciplinarno je področje uporabno tudi v vojaških procesih odločanja, kjer se že uporablja v tehniki vodenja različnih vojaških sistemov in procesih odločanja nabave specialnih vojaških sredstev. Zaznani so pristopi, ki so bližje obravnavani temi procesov odločanja in obvladujejo bolj celovita področja delovanja. Predvsem so z njimi že bile ocenjene grožnje delovanja in ovrednotene metode napovedovanja rezultatov. Kot neraziskane vojaške teme ostajajo procesi odločanja. Ti so zaradi svoje kompleksnosti nekoliko zahtevnejša tema in hkrati večji izziv. Realizacija sistema, ki na podlagi večkriterijskih odločitvenih modelov lažje, hitreje in uspešneje napove odločitveni proces, pa je osnovni cilj dela. The subject of research is the processes of making decisions on the basis of multi- criteria decision models based on fuzzy logic. As an interdisciplinary field, it comes useful in military decision-making processes. In this respect, it is already being used in various military-oriented management systems and decision-making processes in the procurement of specialized military assets. Some approaches have been identified that are closer to the discussed subject of decision-making processes and control more com- prehensive areas of operation. They have mainly been used to assess operation threats and evaluate result prediction methods. Decision-making processes thus remain a non- explored military issue. Due to their complexity, they remain a somewhat difficult topic and at the same time more challenging. The basic aim of this work is therefore the realization of a system, which uses multi-criteria decision-making models to facilitate, speed up and predict more successfully the decision-making process.

Limited Diffusion

Research on small firms decision-making processes has stimulated accounting scholars to investigate how peculiarities of these firms could affect the way how they are managed, focusing on the limited diffusion of managerial accounting practices in these contexts. Controversial results on how managerial accounting practices work in small firms, claim for further research that mostly focus on how managerial accounting systems work in the decision-making processes of small firms. In this view, adopting a sociological perspective managerial accounting practices are interpreted as tools for making sense of past decisions and to discover future alternatives through cognitive pathways. Thus, the attention is on learning processes activated through balance sheet analysis in a small firm that was implementing this tool. The main contribution of this paper concerns the crucial role that balance sheet analyses play in supporting the organizational actors to monitor the state of the company and the decision-making processes. The discussion of balance sheet analyses results enabled the owner and his staff to appraise the current situation and pinpoint weaknesses, allowing them to analyse past events with a new lens and activating new knowledge pathways. Case evidence supports theoretical contributions to the decision-making processes of small businesses helping to better understand how managerial accounting practices work to discover future alternatives through cognitive pathways. The paper provides also a practical contribution concerning the crucial role that balance sheet analyses play in small firms.
