A. DSSB
B. The firm’s existing MIS
C. GDSS
D. Hardware components

Answer & Solution
Option: C
Explanation :A group decision support system (GDSS) is an interactive computer based system that facilitates a number of decision-makers (working together in a group) in finding solutions to problems that are unstructured in nature. They are designed in such a way that they take input from multiple users interacting simultaneously with the systems to arrive at a decision as a group.

          An information system that supports the planning and assessment needs of executive management is

          A. DSS
          B. TPS
          C. ERP
          D. MIS
          E. None of the above




          Answer & Solution
          Option: E
          Explanation : A decision support system (DSS) is a computer program application that analyzes business data and presents it so that users can make business decisions more easily. It is an “informational application” (to distinguish it from an “operational application” that collects the data in the course of normal business operation). A decision support system may present information graphically and may include an expert system or artificial intelligence (AI). It may be aimed at business executives or some other group of knowledge workers.
          Transaction Process System it is a type of information system (IS) that collects, stores, modifies and retrieves transaction of an organization. Here the word transaction is used to mean any event that generates or modifies data stored in the IS. For example batch processing is an example of TPS.
          Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business process management software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated applications to manage the business and automate many back office functions related to technology, services and human resources. ERP software typically integrates all facets of an operation — including product planning, development, manufacturing, sales and marketing — in a single database, application and user interface.
          Management information system(MIS) broadly refers to a computer-based system that provides managers with the tools to organize, evaluate and efficiently manage departments within an organization. In order to provide past, present and prediction information, a management information system can include software that helps in decision making, data resources such as databases, the hardware resources of a system, decision support systems, people management and project management applications, and any computerized processes that enable the department to run efficiently.The role of the management information system (MIS) manager is to focus on the organization’s information and technology systems. The MIS manager typically analyzes business problems and then designs and maintains computer applications to solve the organization’s problems.

            in which System there are a lot of components with a lot of interrelations among them?

            A. Simple System
            B. Complex System
            C. Adaptive System
            D. Concrete System

            Answer & Solution
            Option: B
            Explanation : A simple system is one in which there are a few interrelated entities whereas a complex system is one in which there a lot of components with a lot of interrelations among them.
            A bicycle may be considered as an example of a simple system whereas a motorcycle may be considered a complex system. In the bicycle, the number of entities and subsystems are very few, whereas in a motorcycle the number of entities, subsystems and their interrelations are many. Each subsystem in a motorcycle may itself be considered as a simple system.

                Concrete systems can be

                A. procedural or conceptual
                B. physical or social
                C. Adaptive or Non-adaptive
                D. None of these

                Answer & Solution
                Option: B
                Explanation : Concrete systems are systems in which at least two components are objects. Concrete systems can be physical or social systems.
                An abstract system is an ordered arrangement of concepts. Abstract systems can be procedural or conceptual.

                    Unpredictable systems are called

                    A. Abstract Systems
                    B. Random Systems
                    C. Deterministic Systems
                    D. Concrete Systems

                    Answer & Solution
                    Option: B
                    Explanation : Random systems are completely unpredictable systems. One is completely unaware of the components and their relationships with each other and hence, the output is random. An example of random system is the transport system. Given an input one is not sure about the output.
