Decision Support Research:
Most Cited Articles and Books


by Daniel J. Power
Editor, DSSResources.COM

Research and scholarship about Decision Support Systems (DSS) for managers began about 50 years ago, cf., Scott Morton, 1967. Decision Support Systems are information systems originally intended to support managerial decision makers in semi-structured decision situations, cf., Gorry and Scott Morton, 1971. More broadly DSS are interactive computer-based systems or subsystems designed to help decision makers. Over the years, many articles, chapters, and books have been written discussing fundamental DSS concepts, theories, technology developments, and reports of empirical research including case studies and design science. One might reasonably ask what is a quick way to familiarize someone new to the decision support research field? A good approach is to encourage the person to read/skim the most cited prior literature. This prioritization approach is especially useful because most research builds upon accepted theory and influential previous articles, results, and studies. This article provides a starting point to help familiarize a person interested in learning about DSS research, especially management decision support systems, cf., McCosh and Scott Morton, 1978.

Power & Heavin (2018) argue "Digital disruption is accelerating. Implementing a successful digital transformation strategy requires that senior managers make trade-off decisions to reinvent a business. Equally important all decision makers must learn to ask the right questions, use data and computer support in decision making, and increase their knowledge and skills. Creating a data-centric culture and rewarding data-based decision making leads to successful digital transformation."
