✦ Synopsis

A laboratory study using a simulated business setting was conducted to examine relationships among user characteristics, DSS usage patterns. and decision-making performance.

MBAstudent subjects self-selected into one of two categories:

(1) "end-user programmers" who chose to use the DSS modeling language to develop personalized decision models, or (2) "command level users" who used only "canned" models and query language retrievals. The results show that early development of personalized decision models was positively related to the end-user's previous computer experience. The findings also support the contention that end-user programming improves decision-making performance.

End-user programmers consistently outperformed the command level users in terms of their firm's stock price, market share. and return on assets.
