Irwin, Burr Ridge, IL. 06 The State of the Art The current state of the art in business decision making is multi-faceted. It begins with the development and implementation of systems that provide ubiquitous access to large volumes of accurate and up-tothe-minute information. However, such access is a necessary but insufficient condition for effective decision making.
Rational approaches to management and decision making are an essential part of the mix. However, they are a part, not the whole. The failure rates of managerial decisions and DSS implementations discussed in Chapters 1 and 4 suggest that blind adherence to rational problem-solving approaches to decision making may never get us to where we’d like to be – which is something better than a coin toss, for sure. Fortunately, winds of change are afoot, and have been for quite some time. The evidence for substantive change is everywhere, though set in stark relief against the backdrop of rationality’s continued deep entrenchment.
