The rapidly changing business environment has required cooperation and coorduiation among functional units n organizations which should Involve group decision-making processes Although many group derision-making support tools and methods have provided the collaborative capabilities for organizational members, they often lack features supporting the dynamic complexity issue frequently occurring at group decision-making processes This study proposes system dynamics modeling as a group decision-making support tool to deal with the group derision-making tasks having properties of dynamic complexity in terms of cognitive fit theory.

The changing structure of organization and the increasing diversity of business have forced organizations to have abilities to coordinate dispersed business activities. They have required cooperation and coordination among the functional units in the organization which should involve group decision-making processes. Although many group decision-making support tools and methods have been introduced to enable the collaborative process of group decision-making, they often lack the features supporting the dynamic complexity issue frequently occurring at group decision-making processes. This results in cognitive unfit between the group decision-making tasks and their supporting tools, bringing about mixed results in their effects on group decision-making. This study proposes system dynamics modeling as a group decision-making support tool to deal with the group decision -making tasks having properties of dynamic complexity in terms of cognitive fit theory.

One stream of the GDSS(Group Decision Support System) research is to investigate how GDSS affects decision performances of small groups according to task types, support features, meeting facilitation modes and meeting environments. But little study has investigated the effects of group member characteristics on group decision processes and outcomes depending upon whether GDSS is provided or not. To date, most GDSS studies have not controlled group member characteristics(e,g. personality, sex, decision style) in laboratory experiments. However, this study included the decision styles of group members as an independent variable. Therefore, this study investigated how differently members of two different decision styles perceive the use of GDSS in small group meetings through lab experiments. The two decision styles are feeling(F) style and thinking(T) style. We found that the effect of GDSS is a function of individual's decision style only in the communication thoroughness variable. The decision style is a statistically significant factor that can mediate the effects of the group support technology on the perceived communication thoroughness. Specifically, the GDSS is positively related to participants' perception about satisfaction on decision process, goal achievement, communication thoroughness, degree of influence-outward and effort for achieving meeting goals.

Almost all result for group decision support systems (GDSS) have been obtained in a United States context, based on conventions and culture of American group processes. This paper reports on the construction and testing of a prototype GDSS to support international negotiation. The system was shown to work and to provide gains in both the quality of the interaction and the attitude toward the decision reached. Although the prototype system is narrow in scope, focusing on two specific cultures and a single scenario and uses simple and limited technology, the results obtained suggest that computer-based intercultural GDSS can help people in staving focused, in managing the added complexity of multinational negotiation, and in interacting effectively with one another.

This study investigates the effect of group size on group performance, here the quality of group decision, Four effects are proposed and tested in a field experimental setting : (1) the relationship between the group size and the distribution of individual's problem-solving ability ; (2) the change of the group decision quality as group size increases ; (3) the relationship between the group decision quality and the quality of the best/worst member as group size increases ; (4) the relationship between the group decision quality and the average quality of individuals in the group as group size increases. Data showed that contrary to the exiting results, group decision quality was not improved with the group size. Rather, it showed a little tendency that group decision quality was worsened with the group size. Data also showed that consensus-oriented group decision making process produced the compromised output. Thus, group decision quality was not better than the average group members'. The opinion of the best member was not accepted. The implications of the findings are discussed for the development of a Korean GSS.

This study investigates the effects of individual and group level factors on the use of GSS (Group Support System) and task performance from GSS use. GSS facilitates the group work, so that GSS adoption is not necessarily influenced only by individual perceptions on information systems as TAM insists. Adaptive Structuration. Theory (AST) joins with TAM in our study to explain the adoption and success from GSS use. AST contends that the success of IS is not necessarily the technical fit between tasks and technology, instead the political outcome among user socializations. We found that collected data from 303 individual IT staffs in a national bank. Our results demonstrate that traditional theories on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) need to be refined, when considering the TTF(task-technology fit). TTF render high influences on PU(perceived usefulness). PEU(perceived ease of use) and FOA(faithfulness on appropriation). And FOA influences highly on our dependent variable. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

본 논문은 그룹 성과모형, 그룹 프로세스 유형, 그룹의 장단점을 살펴보았고, 현존하는 그룹웨어와 회의 지원시스템에 대해 조사하였다. 특히, 대부분의 기업에서 중요시하는 신상품 개발 팀의 업무 성과를 높이기 위한 방안으로 그룹 지원시스템이 제공해야 할 기능에 대해 논의하였다. 신상품 개발 팀을 위한 그룹 지원시스템은 프로세스에 참여하는 모든 구성원이 언제든지(Anytime), 어디에서든지(Anyplace) 신상품개발을 위해 협력할 수 있도록 지원기능을 제공하는 시스템이라 볼 수 있다. 지원시스템이 그룹의 성과를 높이려면 필요시에는 개별성, 병렬성, 익명성을 보장할 수 있어야 하며, 팀원 개인이 수행하는 업무와 공동으로 수행하는 업무를 둘 다 지원할 수 있어야 하고, 사전준비, 회의진행, 사후정리의 모든 과정에서 그룹 프로세스를 지원하면서 구성원의 창의력을 촉발시키고 그룹의 약점을 보완해주는 기능을 갖추어야 한다.

Recently, community computing has been proposed for group formation and group decision-making. However, legacy community computing systems do not support group need identification for ad hoc group formation, which would be one of key features of ubiquitous decision support systems and services. Hence, this paper aims to provide a multi-agent based methodology to enable nomadic community computing which supports ad hoc need identification and group formation. Focusing on supporting group decision-making of relatively small sized multiple individual in a community, the methodology copes with the following three characteristics: (1) ad hoc group formation, (2) context-aware group need identification, and (3) using mobile devices working in- and out-doors. NAMA-US, an RFID-based prototype system, has been developed to show the feasibility of the idea proposed in this paper.

본 연구는 지식경영시스템 구축의 대안으로, 그룹의사결정지원시스템(GDSS : Group Decision Support System)의 활용 방안을 제시하였다. GDSS는 구성원들의 사회적 의사소통과 기술적 의사소통 모두를 지원할 수 있는 형태로 설계되고 실행되어야만 지식집약 조직의 달성과 유지에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 기존 GDSS에 관한 문헌에서 제공되는 세 가지 수준의 GDSS와 지식변환과정 및 집단 구성원의 의사소통 유형과의 관계에 대한 이해를 바탕으로, GDSS에 새롭게 추가되어야 하는 특성 및 활용 가능한 기술을 제시하였으며, 지식관리 기반기술 중 조직에 구축된 KMS에 적용되지 못하고 있던 지식관리 기반기술의 GDSS를 통한 활용 방안도 발견할 수 있었다.

Group Decision Support System(GDSS) has been a rapidly emerging field of the 1990's. Whereas conventional Decision Support System(DSS) helps individual decision makers, GDSS are designed to help groups of senior management and professional groups reach consensus. However, empirical researches which required to establish the optimum GDSS specification are scarce. Along with this purpose, this paper was focused to investigate the effect of group decision factors on the efficiency of the group decision. In this paper, task types of group decision which were discussed as major variable at many papers were settled as environmental factor. The result has verified the importance of the role-related factors on the efficiency of the group decision. This fact highlights the need of more researches on the role-related factors in the group decision in the GDSS development.
