Abstract :
One approach to generating guidelines for executive support systems (ESSs) is to review the management and executive literature. Such a review can point to areas in which communication and information technologies can logically aid managers and executives. This approach is taken with emphasis on the work of executives and executive teams in small organizations in high velocity environments. Executive teams in such organizations resolve specific paradoxes in their strategic decision-making processes. Seven different types of communication and information technologies are used to design and build systems to support executive teams resolving these paradoxes
