Abstract

Groups using group decision support systems (GDSS) for addressing organizational problems is an evolutionary process. An analytical model incorporating evolutionary processes exists, capturing this adaptation in the group decision-making process. This model is based on the genetic algorithm (GA) and can be used to estimate GA parameter values from experimental data. This research effort examines possible relationships between the GA crossover and mutation parameters and the group context variables of leadership. Both the presence of and the activity level of group leaders are considered. Particular attention is paid to model implementation for a specific instance of GDSS use. The results of this effort are generally encouraging, hinting at the need to conduct further research in this area.
