Abstract

Research in the field of Methodology of Decision Analysis and Decision Support Systems is one of the topics investigated during several years within the System and Decision Sciences Program. Beside theoretical and methodological research, applications are considered as a very important component of this research. Developing methodologies and computer systems requires practical verification of these concepts as well as the learning of decision making styles and practices from organizations implementing up-to-date management techniques. Application and experimentation is the only possible approach for the validation of new concepts developed by researchers and feedback from practice is one possible way for generation of new ideas.

Recognizing the importance of the above mentioned feedback, the System and Decision Sciences Program organized joint Seminar Days with the Japan Institute for Systems Research with participation of managers from leading companies of Japan industry. During this seminar they presented experience on implementing new management and decision making technologies in their organizations. The given paper presents several aspects of management in the context of introducing innovative technologies as well as organization of the research and development process at Matsushita Corporation.
