Group Decision Support Systems

Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) are tools and technologies designed to help groups of people make decisions more effectively. They facilitate communication, organize information, and manage the decision-making process, allowing participants to share ideas and vote anonymously. This encourages equal participation, reduces domination by strong personalities, and helps achieve a consensus. GDSS can include software applications, online platforms, and structured meeting environments, making it easier for teams to collaborate, evaluate options, and reach beneficial outcomes collectively, whether in business, government, or community settings.
