Project for Chapter 12 Choose either Option A or Option B. Paper MUST be minimum of 500 words Option A Due to budget cuts, the city of Camden, New Jersey, lost half of the police force that served its 75,000 residents. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 2011 Camden was one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. A type of MSS called Real Time Tactical Information Center, a $4.5 million project, is changing the crime rate in Camden significantly. The system combines gunshot-spotting cameras, in-cruiser GPS technology, and analytics to provide real-time information for the police force. With the help of the system, violent and nonviolent crimes have been reduced 30 and 38 percent, respectively, and aggravated assaults with a firearm are down 61 percent. Camden County Police Chief Scott J. Thomson says the system has reduced 911 response time from the 9-minute national average to 90 seconds in Camden. The system has eliminated police dispatchers by automatically sending the two nearest police officers to the crime scene; their police cars are GPS-tracked. The system also includes 120 cameras located around the city that send updated information every 1.5 seconds to patrol car computer screens. This information enables officers to see where emergencies are happening at any given time. Squad cars are also equipped with cameras that can take pictures of license plates and run them instantly through the FBI’s National Crime Information Center. Additionally, the system keeps track of the officers’ movements throughout the city and alerts them as to whether or not they are spending adequate time in each location. 1. What are the three main components of Camden’s Real Time Tactical Information Center? 2. How is the system able to reduce 911 response time from 9 minutes nationally to 90 seconds in Camden? 3. What is the role of the 120 cameras located around the city? 4. How might this technology be used for other purposes? OR Option B SAS Business Intelligence (https://www.sas.com/en_us/software/business-intelligence.html) and Tableau (https://www.tableau.com/) are among the popular packages used to design an EIS. After reading the information presented in this module and other sources, write a two-page paper that identifies four key features of each package. What types of businesses will benefit the most from these packages? PowerPoint Presentation Module 12 Supporting Decisions and Processes Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Types of Decisions in an Organization (1 of 2) Structured decisions Can be automated because a well-defined standard operating procedure exists Examples: record keeping, payroll Semistructured decisions Not as well-defined but include a structured aspect Examples: sales forecasting, budget preparation Unstructured decisions One-time decisions with no standard operating procedure Decision maker’s intuition plays an important role Example: Executive information systems Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Phases of Decision Making Economist Herbert Simon defined three phases: Intelligence phase Design phase Choice phase A fourth phase can be added: Implementation phase Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Intelligence Phase Examine the organization’s environment for conditions that need decisions Collect and process data from a variety of sources Allows decision maker to discover ways to approach the problem Identify what is going on, then get a better understanding, and finally identify alternative solutions Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Design Phase Define the criteria for making a decision Generate alternatives for meeting the criteria Define associations between the criteria and the alternatives Requires understanding how each alternative affects the criteria Information technology does not support this phase Collaboration and video-conferencing systems can be helpful Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Choice Phase Select the best and most effective course of action Requires analyzing each alternative and its relationship to the criteria A decision support system (DSS) can support this phase Helps sort through possible solutions to choose the best one for the organization Includes tools for calculating cost-benefit ratios Bidgoli, MIS, 10th Edition. © 2021 Cengage.
