Abstract

This paper outlines some present researches in describing decision-making context by information systems, and especially Decision Support Systems (DSS). We present the results of an empirical study that had the main propose to demonstrate the idea that describing context decision-making in an incorrect manner may lead to an inaccurate decision-making process. We discuss therefore some possible solutions. The paper ends with conclusions drawn from our research.
