"MV Boli"">The decision making is a crucial process for professionals and
businessman in the global markets. Many types of decisions now need complex and
critical investigation and analysis using the most advanced recent techniques
and technologies, especially in the current dynamic and uncertain markets where
many factors are involved in this process. Choosing the right strategy and
making the correct decision is an optimal objective for any professional who is
faced everyday by the challenges of the unstable market forces and factors. The
use of decision support and intelligent systems became recently essential
technological tools to support the discussion making process, solve the ongoing
problems in the daily business activities, and provide efficient and effective
business solutions for strategies and business owners and decision makers.
However, the integration and the use of these systems in the decision making
process still require investigation and research, especially with the
non-ending development and advancement of these techniques and technologies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
