How to understand the topic of decision support systems?

Question

Business Informatics

The topic of my graduation project is a decision support system in small business. I have been searching for a long time on this topic, but I still don’t get what it is all about? How exactly should the system help to make decisions, and how to connect it specifically with small businesses? On what should she base her proposals?

Answer 1

decision support system in small business

What the hell is this anyway?!
1. "Supports" of whom or what?!))
2. Why only in small business: what is the difference with other businesses?!)))
And "cherry on the cake":

On what should she base her proposals?

the answer is simple: on some target conclusions built on the basis of some abstract data provided by who or what such a system should support!))
General algorithm: target (input) -> list of sequential actions (output).

Answer 2

The decision support system in small business is bribes.

at least here

and from what I studied in discrete mathematics and related it can be
- linear programming
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D...
- multi-criteria optimization
for example for solving optimization problems
- you can write a program and tell how it works in simplex - method
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%B8%D0%BC%D...
- according to the transport problem
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0% A2%D1%80%D0%B0%D...
- multi-criteria optimization for optimization by these very few criteria
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D...

- it is possible to take Game Theory and use it to select optimal strategies, say, by Min-Max to obtain greater competitive advantages relative to some given strategies of opponents, say, a table of weights and results is entered (read about Game Theory) and the program displays the best strategies, possibly with selection criteria ( for example "less loss" or "more profit" or "less chance of going broke" or "ruin all competitors")

or if everyone went through this on your course (I don’t know if you went through it) - maybe something deeper is needed, the teacher should still be asked - but at least offer him options for what I found and what you will find in them for a possible purpose of a diploma
