| Abstract | Summary form only given. Selection of the right technology is a critical success factor for companies. The aim of technology selection is to obtain new know-how and systems, which help the company to make more competitive products and services, and more effective processes, or create completely new solutions. Technology selection is a complex, multicriteria and multiperson task. A group of persons, including representatives from all the functions of a company influenced by the technology, is needed for the selection process. The representatives of different departments with very disparate educational background and knowledge must be able to work effectively together as a group to select the best possible technologies for the company. Group decision support systems (GDSS) offer many potential benefits for promoting group work in technology selection processes. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the real advantages and problems of GDSS supporting technology selection processes in companies. The advantages and disadvantages are illustrated by a real CAD-system selection application for an industrial company. This paper clarifies the factors and limitations, which should be taken into consideration when utilizing GDSS. The focus of this analysis is in the assessment phase of the selection process for potential technology alternatives executed in a group. This study is based on a number of organized technology management sessions in the GDSS-laboratory of the industrial Engineering and Management Department at Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) from 1994 to 1998. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
