Download or read book Public Administration and Decision-Aiding Software written by Stuart S. Nagel and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume offers a summary of the latest ideas and applications concerning decision making software, as applied to administrative decision making and public policy-making. Stuart Nagel, the editor of this work, defines the essence of decision-aiding software to be software that is designed to enable users to process a set of (1) goals to be achieved, (2) alternatives available for achieving them, and (3) relations between goals and alternatives in order to choose the best alternative, combination, allocation, or predictive decision-rule. Containing contributions from both practitioners and theorists, this book should be of immediate value to those professionals involved in the field of public administration. The book is organized in terms of the major fields of public administration, which have been divided into staff/procedural activities, and into line/substantive activities. The first part of the book deals with cross-cutting procedures, including organization theory, policy analysis, and financial management. The second part deals with substantive chapters, including criminal justice, health, environmental-energy, and transportation as administrative fields. The third part of the book involves chapters which combine procedures and substance. It includes developmental policy, with chapters emphasizing the perspectives of people from developing countries toward the relevance of computers and decision-aiding software. It also includes the perspective of people from more developed countries trying to apply policy analysis methods to developmental policy. The third part also deals with public administration education. It emphasizes data banks that are available through telecommunications systems to aid in teaching various aspects of public administration procedures and substance. This book should be of interest to public administrators and scholars of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast flow of information to be considered by policy and decision makers in national and local governments is continuing to expand during the 1990s, whilst budgets for staff to process the information are being tightened. This publication provides a forum for the examination of the problem. It aims to focus the efforts of researchers and practitioners more effectively in applying information technology to increase the performance of decision makers in public administration despite the limited resources. Topics explored include the following: design considerations and approaches for, and practical experiences with, communication and information processing infrastructure and applications at the workplace level; the design and implementation of support systems for individual or group decision making in governmental and municipal settings; modelling and model management techniques, based on case reports of successful and unsuccessful modelling efforts; concepts, approaches and models for re-designing tasks and processes in public administration; issues and challenges in integrating the information systems of several governmental bodies. The book is divided into two parts for the discussion of these themes - the first section deals primarily with theoretical and conceptual issues; the second part contains papers with a stronger emphasis on systems, their functionality and experiences in their development and application. The authors' affiliations (17 organizations from 8 different countries) indicates the international nature of the contributions. The ideas put forward in their papers show that research into supporting decision making in public administration is well on its way but that the research area is vast, with yet many hills to scale.

Download or read book Computer-Aided Decision Analysis written by Stuart S. Nagel and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essence of decision-aiding software is that it consists of various forms of microcomputer programming designed to enable users to process a set of (1) goals to be achieved, (2) alternatives available for achieving them, and (3) relations between goals and alternatives in order to choose the best alternative, combination, allocation, or predictive decision-rule. Benefits from using decision-aiding software include (1) being more explicit about goals to be achieved, alternatives available for achieving them, and relations between goals and alternatives; (2) being stimulated to think of more goals, alternatives, and relations than one would otherwise be likely to do; (3) being prepared to handle multiple goals, alternatives, and relations without getting confused and without feeling the need to resort to a single composite goal or a single go/no-go alternative; (4) being encouraged to experiment with changes in the inputs into one's thinking to see how one's conclusions are affected; and (5) being better able to achieve or exceed one's goals when choosing among alternatives or allocating scarce resources. There are five parts to the book covering: (1) a broad overview of decision-aiding packages, including criteria for evaluating them; (2) approaches that are based on management science and operations research, including linear programming and decision trees; (3) spreadsheet-based software, generally with goals on the columns, alternatives on the rows, relations in the cells, overall totals for each alternative at the far right, and a capability for indicating how the totals would be altered as a result of changes in the inputs; (4) expert systems software including rule-based and knowledge-based expert systems; and (5) general applications of decision-aiding software and a discussion of the increasing utilization of such software.

This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public administration, grade: 1,1, Free University of Berlin (Otto-Suhr-Institut), language: English, abstract: The paper is divided in two main parts. The first part introduces the agency theory and its application to two relevant aspects: the agency theory in the public sector and the agency theory involving artificial agents. The second part aims at providing answers to the research questions, by discussing the changes in the agency of the public administrations, as well as the changes in the control methods used to monitor these administrations. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the answer to the research questions, exposes the implications and limits of this paper and offers leads for possible future research on this topic. Automated decision-making (ADM), a type of algorithm which supports decision-making and combines advanced analytics and data minig to make predictions, has been developed in various public sector fields, from predictive policing to healthcare, and is increasingly helping public agents by delivering analysis that they can leverage to make their decisions. This technique involves three main stakeholders: the programmer of the algorithmic system; the user, who is the public agent operating the ADM system; and the individuals affected by the decisions made using ADM. This paper focuses on the consequences on the governance and responsibility of administrations increasingly relying on algorithms to make their decisions. Does the introduction of ADM in public administrations transform their agency? If so, why does this change occur and how does it impact the control methods required to supervise the actions of administrations? The chosen approach is the agency theory, which is suited to deal with delegation, specifically between actors from different contextual backgrounds. France has been chosen as the case-study for this topic, as it has put in place relevant laws and public institutions in order to deal with public ADM. The method chosen to investigate this issue is based on a literature review, as it is appropriate to approach a case-study. This includes scientific papers for the technical aspects, from computer sciences to social and political sciences, as well as reports from governments, international institutions and private companies. More general literature, such as articles and blog posts are used for information on the use of ADM in France and the public debate surrounding it. Finally, the methodology also includes semi-structured interviews led with experts working on the topic of ADM in the public sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments regarding the introduction/development of expert systems are discussed in this book and some expert systems in use are described. Questions are examined such as what are the functions which expert systems technology fulfills in public administration and which typical applications are developed? The four-rationalities model (political, legal, economical and technical-scientific rationality) which was developed by Snellen is used to show the specific nature of public administration which should be taken into account when discussing possibilities, threats as well as opportunities, regarding the introduction of expert systems in public administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume examines how super-optimum decisions involve finding alternatives to controversies whereby Conservatives, Liberals, or other major groups can all come out ahead of their best initial expectations simultaneously. This book is organised in terms of concepts, methods, causes, process, substance, and the policy studies profession. Concepts clarify that policy evaluation traditionally involves: (1) Goals to be achieved; (2) Alternatives available for achieving them; (3) Relations between goals and alternatives; (4) Drawing a conclusion as to the best alternative in light of the goals, alternatives, and relations; and (5) Analysing how the conclusion would change if there were changes in the goals, alternatives, or relations. Super-optimizing also involves five related steps, but with the following improvements: (1) Goals are designed as conservative, liberal, or neutral; (2) Alternatives get the same designations; (3) Relations are simplified to indicate which alternatives are relatively high or low on each goal; (4) The conclusion involves arriving at an alternative that does better on Goal A than Alternative A, and simultaneously better on Goal B than Alternative B; and (5) The fifth step involves analysing the super-optimum or win-win alternative in terms of its feasibility as to the economic, technological, psychological, political, administrative, and legal matters.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Computer Science - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Information Systems are developed to help users to achieve their goals. If we look at the international level, the introduction of information technology and general information systems in everyday life, we will see that this admission has been made successfull by-producing the expected results in countries characterized by good organization of public life other, individual systems, banking system, health system, are well organized and staffed. On the other hand, Decision Support Systems represent a combined approach of decision making from the Administration area with tools and IT techniques. A widely accepted definition describes the DSS as computer software which accepts as input data a large number of events and methods to convert comparisons, graphs and directions in some sense, that facilitate and expand the capabilities of what takes decisions.

Download or read book Decision-Aiding Software and Legal Decision-Making written by Stuart S. Nagel and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-09-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of microcomputers as decision aids in law practice is increasing rapidly. Nagel here shows how developments in software over the last few years are making microcomputers practically indispensable to lawyers as decision aids. This is in contrast to his earlier book on Microcomputers as Decision Aids in Law Practice. It dealt speculatively with ways in which decision-aiding software could be used by lawyers for judicial prediction, litigation strategy, allocating scarce resources, and negotiation-mediation. The book is divided into three parts covering general developments, specific lawyer skills, and application to all fields of law. The first part previews various uses of decision-aiding software by practicing lawyers, including a general discussion of the potential and actual benefits of such software. How decision-aiding software enhances specific lawyer skills comprises the second and largest part of the work. Among the topics discussed are computer-aided counseling, computer-aided mediation, legal policy evaluation and computer-aided advocacy, law prediction, and legal administration. In the third part, Nagel assesses applications of decision-aiding software to all fields of law, with an emphasis on contracts, property, torts, family law, criminal law, constitutional law, economic regulation, international law, civil procedure, and criminal procedure. In a provocative concluding chapter, he deals with the thorny issues of individual ethics and professional responsibility in the context of microcomputers. Because decision-aiding software encourages decision makers to be much more explicit about their goals than they otherwise would be, its use raises questions as to whose goals should be pursued and to what degree. This is a nuts-and-bolts guidebook that will be a valuable tool for practicing attorneys with some knowledge of microcomputers and is recommended reading for legal scholars and law students.
