Select one of the technologies mentioned in this week's introduction (MRP, ERP, DSS, Expert Systems, software simulations) and one analytical method and research it in the library. Then, write a paper that summarizes the selected technology and analytical method and how these are used in decision making. Compare and contrast how these have been used by two real-world businesses. Begin your paper with an introduction that states a thesis and explains how the body of the paper is arranged to support it. Close the paper with a conclusion in which you summarize and synthesize the main points presented in your paper.
Consider the following as you prepare your paper:
• How does this technology and analytical method support an ethical and successful business?
• Does this technology and analytical method support communications at all levels of the organizations you selected? Why or why not?
• How does this technology and analytical method influence approaches to decision making?
