Toward a General Theoretical Model of Computer-based Factors That Affect Managerial Decision Making

摘要

Decision support, data mining, and other management-based information systems are increasingly dependent on computer graphics to present information to facilitate managerial decision making. Previous research on the effects of information display and presentation format on decision making has yielded mixed results. This inconsistency is due in part to the lack of a general model from which existing research and results can be compared and new research conducted. Therefore, this article has two objectives: (1) to put forth a comprehensive and integrative model regarding the effects of presentation format on managerial decision-making outcomes based on previous research from several disciplines, and (2) to demonstrate how to apply the model by reporting the results of an experiment regarding managerial decision making.
