description The fact that competence in decision-making differentiates the effective manager from the ineffective manager <Harrison.1981: l>J makes decision-making one of management's printiple concerns <Uliana.1986:1). The implication of this for DSS research is that means have to be sought that could contribute towards raising the quality of managerial decision-making.

Secondly, alternative theoretical foundations of Expert System <ES> enhanced DSS are examined.
