ICTs FOR DECISION MAKING PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) offer unprecedented tools and techniques for decision-making in any organization world-over. Research reveals that computerization is neither automatic nor emerges only with the purchase of leading-edge hardware and software for different levels of management. Successful infusion of ICTs into organization in general and decision-making levels in particular, depends on the understanding of enabling technologies on the one hand and the user requirements on the other. This understanding may result into best possible plans for developing and using ICT-based tools for different levels of decision-making. This paper is an effort to contribute to the expected understanding by juxtaposing relevant concepts to paint a real-world image of the ‘ICTs for Decision-Making.
