Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decision support system (DSS) is designed to help managers make strategic decisions based on analyzing multiple sources of data. Christine is using the DSS to test various salaries and determine the corresponding percentages of graduates who would accept a job offer with her company, based on the supply of labor. This will enable her to make an informed decision about the best salary range to offer. The other options - expert system, HR dashboard, transaction-processing system, and transitional matrix - are not specifically designed for this type of analysis.
