&
Pages 9-21 | Published online: 18 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

The Decision Support Systems (DSS) sub-field of Information Systems research is an emergent discipline. In response to recent challenges, this article examines the progress that has been made to create some consensus about this field of study. The article also examines research needs. The overriding theme is that Decision Support Systems is a viable field of academic study, but that more theory development is needed and that more effort needs to be made to inform practitioners about the findings of DSS empirical research.

Le sous-champ des systèmes interactifs d'aide à la décision (SAD) de la recherche de systèmes d'information est une discipline émergente. En réponse aux défis récents, cet article examine le progrès qui a été accompli pour créer un certain consensus au sujet de ce champ d'étude. L’article examine également les besoins de recherches. Le thème de dépassement est que les systèmes interactifs d'aide à la décision sont un champ viable d'étude universitaire, mais que plus le développement de théorie est nécessaire et plus l’effort d'information des praticiens au sujet des résultats de la recherche empirique de SAD doit être fait.
