Instructional Objectives for this activity:
Summarize the decision-making process and decision support systems (DSSs)
Compare the various management support systems used in decision making, including executive information systems (EISs), group support systems (GSSs), and geographic information systems (GISs) |

For this exercise, you can refer to either a real-life organization or a hypothetical one.
