Abstract: Abstract Internet technologies are enabling firms to become distributed across the globe and compete in international markets. Decision makers, hence, have to deal with differences in national policies and social cultures, as well as various international management strategies (global, multinational, and transnational). While advanced technologies such as intelligent agents, search engines, and collaborative technologies can provide support for global teams making decisions, it is critical that the nature and intensity of information shared is well understood before developing such support. This paper develops a framework to characterize decisions under different strategies and presents a global decision support system (g-DSS) architecture to support these decisions. The case of a corporate financial planning model is used to illustrate this architecture.
