Abstract:
This is a comprehensive study, that, by means of an empirical assessment
of the DSS literature, systematically identifies the DSS reference
disciplines and traces how concepts and findings by researchers in the
contributing disciplines have been picked up by DSS researchers to be
applied, extended, and refined in the development of DSS research
subspecialties. Cluster analysis was employed to an author cocitation
frequency matrix derived from a comprehensive database of the DSS
literature over the period of 1970 through 1993. Twelve clusters were
uncovered consisting of six major areas of DSS research (group DSS,
foundations, model management, user interfaces, implementation, and
multiple criteria DSS) and six contributing disciplines (multiple criteria
decision making, cognitive science, organization science, artificial
intelligence, group decision making, and systems science). (C) 1998
