Organizational Decision Support System (ODSS) for the bidding process

Abstract

The paper proposes a generic approach to design and develop an organizational decision support system (ODSS). This approach is based at the follows definition: the ODSS is considered as the experts' memory and their decision-taking. Therefore, the ODSS is constituted by two elements, a strategic DSS and a specific referential of the decision situation. Our generic approach for ODSS design is based on the MUSIC (management and use of cooperative information systems) model. An illustration of the approach is presented through the design of an ODSS for the bidding process.
