Abstract

The paper describes an on-line system which enables each member of a decision-making group to communicate individual decisions and judgements during the course of discussion and be provided with immediate processed feedback information. Some early and very promising trials of the system concept are summarized, and directions for further development are outlined.

“..........., Social Innovation has Clearly become management’s new dimension”.
