Abstract

POLANAL is a pedagogical decision support system designed to introduce support system concepts to business school students in the context of business policy and strategy case analysis. Since POLANAL is formulated around the basic principles learned in previous courses, it provides students an integrated framework for policy analysis. This paper presents the experiential approach that introduces students to the technology, approaches, expectations, and advantages of computer assisted decision support via the POLANAL vehicle.
