Chapter 9 Mangerial Support Systems

As a student studying Human Resource Management, I like to see how I can apply things I learn in everyday life or throughout my education to my major. It helps to make sense of all the information I'm gathering through readings and lectures. In this chapter I asked myself how can information systems help me as a HR manager make decisions. After reading this chapter I realized that with the use of information systems, making decisions can become easier, but not all the time due to complications of some systems that are hard for employees to adjust to.
One way that information systems are helping HR managers make decisions are through using the internet to find resumes of potential workers, they are able sort through and find what seem worth looking into . It saves the hassel of putting ads in newspapers. You can use expert systems to evaluate the candidates you have chosen for new jobs, intelligent systems can be used in training new employees along with helping them manage their fringe benefits. Information systems such as these can help ensure workers with the right qualifications for jobs are brought to them right away, rather than going through a lot of bad eggs to get a few good ones. It saves time and money.
