title = "Visual artefacts and decision-making quality in information systems development projects",
abstract = "Visualization of data provides positive cognitive and operational functions for decision makers in information systems development environments. In this research-in-progress paper we discuss both distortive and nondistortive visual artefacts and seek to determine the impact these two types of artefact have on the relationship between decision inputs and decision quality. Given the cognitive limitations of the decision makers, incomplete information regarding the potential decision quality and the time limitations on the decision-making process, we use the theory of bounded rationality to guide our research. We distinguish between distortive (where data are altered for display) and non-distortive (where data are not altered for display) visual artefacts, and explore which of these is the optimum choice for decision makers in ISD environments.",
