Now that you tried on TRACS with your names, let's try anonymously

This is a hott mess Looking for a SWF to have lunch with. Hey guys, what can be improved with this forum to serve our purpose? freedom of speaking without repucation Symptoms of GDSS are talking about people and them not knowing, and a rash i agree with you That is number one on my christmas listNew technologies differ from old technologies gdss is wierd! that would suck it's deliciousadvantages:

2. increases productivity
3. overcomes production blocking

disadvantages
1. no nonverbal feedback
2. could cause low levels of participation
3. reduced tendency to loaf it could be cool if the replies could branch off up and down instead of just all side to sideGDSS can be used to be silly this is complicated and i don't like it.this is not workingGDSS helps decision making process and allows for more ideasi just found out i have GDSS... Advantages:
1) not worried about how people will react
2) eliminates groupthink
3) more democracy

maybe the software is expensive?GDSS technology allows groups to create full written transcripts of decision making advantage: no one knows who i am so i can complain!!!!

i don't have to worry about what anyone is thinking!!!!!!

i can be dumb on this computer and not feel intimidated!!!, ok, still feel stupid. 3 advantages:
more ideas
shy/ quiet people have an advantage to share ideas
you can be on the internet so its more convenient so you dont have to be at the same location.
3 disadvantages:
harder to figure out the emotional cues
technology isnt always reliable

i don't care for it GDSS allows individuals to make decisions easier

If there are anonymous contributions, someone could potentially take credit for your ideas.
LEts make a burn book! this is complicated...I know that you think I'm HOT! so is everybody here? Yes I love GDSS Ok. I am freakin' senior and this is the first time i have ever used this stuff on tracs...how sad and pathetic because i should have had to use this from the beginning but none of my teachers ever made me do this so now i paid thousands of dollars in school to just learn this weeks before graduation!!!!!! I heart GDSS. It rocks my life!Jess, what are we doing this seems alot better to brainstorm more ideas but will be alot harder to pick up on emotional cues. hello just testing. You can't judge me...on GDSSI think Gomez is COOL!
So this helps in buisnesses because peopel can talk in real time and no one knows who said it. They feel more comfortable that way??I can't figure out how to see all the messages. i heard GDSS was a tool The EBS software allows individuals to enter their ideas as the ideas occur to them, and then others can offer their opinons and new ideas that may branch off of those posted. This creates opportunties for ultimate creative capacity and freedom. EBS is an efficient way to brainstorm ideas.
so are we using GDSS right now? GDSS is the bomb!! I want GDSS for christmas Yo what are we doing?in my opinion, face to face communication is always the best bet. I think GDSS is a large pile of hot communication. GDSS is a technology based theory that allows for the use of communication through technology, which is proven to offer more ideas and anonymous ideas. How is a GDSS different than a normal chat room? I love gdss! * What are GDSS?

Group Decision Support Systems
* What are the advantages of these systems compared to traditional discussions? to brainstorming?

GDSS's allow anonymous contributions of ideas, thus allowing for more egalitarian sharing of ideas.

* What are the disadvantages of these systems compared to traditional discussions? to brainstorming?

One disadvantage is that anonymity serves as a shield for those engaged in criminal or unethical activities.


* What do we need to do different when we are using GDSS compared to face to face discussion? brainstorming?

We need to remember that nonverbal communication is "filtered out". We need to be more detailed in our discussions so that the message is understood without the use of nonverbals (in comparison to face to face communication).

so are we supposed to talk about GDSS now?
I can see how not being able to see who sent it might let people feel more free to share any idea.GDSS-Group Discussion Support System.

An advantage to GDSS is that it allows anonymous contributions of ideas and thus may allow for more egalitarian sharing of ideas.

A disadvantage of GDSS is that it serves as a sheild for those engaged in criminal or unethical activities or behaviors.

When using GDSS you need to do different things such as, we need need to remember that nonverbal comm is filtered "out." We need to be more detailed in our discussions so that the message is understood without the use of nonverbals in comparison to face-to-face communication.
everyone should use electronic brainstorming It seems like a lot of cues are filtered out of this kind of meeting. Even more than emails or text messages, because you are more limited on time to add emotional cues :) Learning this system isn't easy either!hopefully this is better because it does not matter who sent itI think GDSS are cool! let's talk about GDSSNow that you tried on TRACS with your names, let's try anonymously You can do it on this forum. Start a topic with a paper title, chop a paper into logical pieces of 500 characters or less (sorry, no images) and submit them one *after* another so that they compose a story (submit a piece, then click on it, then submit following piece, then click on it, and so on), and every logical piece may be commented on by others. [1] I would like to submit a paper for discussion
on GDSS. How do I go about that?
