Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Available For PhD Students At National University Ireland Galway 2009
Postdoctoral Description:
Centre for Innovation & Structural Change
Ref. No. NUIG-059-09
Applications are invited for a funded postdoctoral fellowship in the area of group decision support systems (GDSS) for team-based decision making in agile systems development projects. The position is available for an initial period of 24 months with possibility of extension.
Postdoctoral Background:
Decision making at the team level can be complex, and is influenced by social, technical and organisational factors. Suboptimal presentation, dissemination and sharing of information in teams can be problematic for decision making activities. These issues can be exacerbated in agile systems development projects, where formal documentation and processes are minimal and high levels of self-organisation and self-discipline are required. Innovative information systems can support team-based activities in this regard, and group decision support systems (GDSS) can assist with decision making, impact information dissemination, support agile team-based decision processes and activities, and facilitate optimal team decision behaviours in agile contexts. Further, information systems can impact decision quality, add strategic value to team-based decision making and influence efficacy. Specifically, the successful applicant will examine the impact of group decision support systems (GDSS) on team-based decision making in agile systems development projects. Focusing on decision processes, team decision activities, group decision behaviour and decisional guidance mechanisms, the research aims to support agile team-based decision making and increase organisational value.
