The Effects of Recursion in Problem-Solving Processes on the Problem-Solving Time : a Simulation Study

문제해결과정의 단계별 회귀가 문제해결시간에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

Over the last decades, interest in the application of decision support systems (DSS) in organizations has increased rapidly. Despite the growing number of investigations exmaining decision support system, relatively few empirical studies have evaluated the effects of DSS on problem-solving processes. This study examined, using a computer simulation technique, the effects of recursion in problem-solving processes on the problem-solving time. Results indicate that the recursions at the early stage of problem-solving processes scarcely influenced the problem-solving time, which is contrasted with the case of the recursions at the final stage.
