Significant research about the impact of information presentation
on decision processes, group-decision support systems, and multicriteria
decision making has occurred over the past 10 to 15 years. Advances
in hardware and software technologies have significantly reduced
costs and enhanced information presentation capability, specifically
in the areas of virtual reality and visual interactive modeling
(VIM). These visualization technologies can aid in the assimilation
of complex qualitative and quantitative information by the decision
maker and allow the abstraction of vast information space. Thus,
in group-decision situations, visualization has the potential to
enhance the decision makers' ability to make appropriate tradeoffs
and improve communication between group members resulting in quicker
and better consensus decisions. This paper focuses on the study
of the effectiveness of advanced information-presentation technologies,
such as VIM in complex decision situations involving multiple criteria
and groups of decision makers. The effectiveness of VIM is evaluated
through a controlled experimental study. The study finds that VIM
leads to greater efficiency in decision making and improved group-member
attitude and satisfaction with the decision-making process and group-decision
solution. However, somewhat contrary to our a priori expectations,
the quality of the decision that is made by the groups using visual-interaction
modeling is not better than those without this support.
