Decision support systems (DSS) in three types of firm

Erkki K. Laitinen

Scandinavian Journal of Management, 1989, vol. 5, issue 4, 273-291

Abstract: The aim of this study is to present some empirical evidence on the use of DSS in Finnish firms. DSS has been examined for three planning horizons and with the help of three variables. The sample firms were classified with the help of a factor analysis into three groups on the basis of certain characteristics and of their use of DSS. The resulting solution supported the typology of firms with different planning philosophies presented by Miller (1983, Management Science, pp. 770*791). There was no statistically significant relationship between type of firm and rate of growth or rate of return.
