In addition to your inquiries that derived from your research, inquire about (a) the benefits and buy-in of global decision support systems, which include global studios (i.e., visual collaborations); (b) the process of deciding how global DSS may be implemented within the organization; and (c) how ethics may become compromised in deploying global DSS. Conclude how global DSS may increase the presence of global partners, which may involve off shoring to micro enterprises.
