Integrated DSS for strategic planning in public institutions

Abstract

The paper deals with a problem of support to the strategic planning decision‐making in public institutions. In special literature there are various approaches proposed to what decision support system (DSS) is rational to use in management area. This diversity is determined by the nature of management problems, goals and the chosen approaches for achieving the goals. In order to prepare the approaches which are necessary to carryout the strategic planning in the institutions, the role of the DSS was revealed, the structure of the system was defined, and the variety of the DSS was systematized. Besides, the factors which predetermine the requirements for the DSS of strategic planning in the institutions were defined. According to these factors and the results of the research on theoretical potential of decision support, it is rational to apply a complex character of intelligent support to prepare alternatives and to make decisions of strategic planning in public institutions. The authors have based a solution with regard to the integrated DSS for the strategic planning. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinejama viešojo sektoriaus instituciju strateginio planavimo sprendimu paramos problematika. Specialiojoje literatūroje pateikiami skirtingi požiūriai i tai, kokia sprendimu paramos sistema (toliau – SPS) racionalu taikyti valdymo problemoms spresti. Tokia ivairove lemia nagrinejamu valdymo problemu, kartu keliamu tikslu ir ju igyvendinimo nuostatu pobūdis. Siekiant parengti viešojo sektoriaus instituciju strateginiam planavimui reikalingos SPS principines nuostatas, atskleistas SPS vaidmuo, apibrežta pagrindinems SPS funkcijoms igyvendinti būtina sistemos struktūra, susistemintos SPS atmainu savybes. Be to, nustatyti veiksniai, kurie lemia reikalavimus, keliamus viešojo sektoriaus instituciju strateginio planavimo SPS. Atsižvelgiant i tokius veiksnius ir sprendimu paramos teorinio potencialo nagrinejimo rezultatus, numatyta skirtinga pagal pobūdi intelektine parama viešojo sektoriaus instituciju strateginio planavimo sprendimams rengti ir priimti, pagristas sprendimas del integruotos strateginio planavimo SPS.
