Decision Making as a Component of Information Technologies in the Sociocultural Sphere

One of the most important components of any information technology is decision-making. Whenever during the application of information technology it is necessary to choose one of the possible alternatives, taking into account certain conditions, methods of decision making theory are used. Being an independent scientific and applied branch, the decision making theory offers a toolkit for the information technology development and implementation.

The purpose of the work is to review the main provisions of decision-making as a component of information technologies used in the sociocultural sphere.

Methodology of the research. Decision-making is based on a system analysis of objects and processes and can be used to study various problems that relate to the sociocultural sphere.

The novelty of the research is to use the methods and tasks of making decisions theory when creating and implementing information technologies, in particular, which are used in the sociocultural sphere.

Conclusions. The formal formulation and main classes of decision-making problems are considered in the article. Their use in the creation and implementation of information technologies, in particular in the sociocultural sphere, is discussed. The features of classes of decision-making problems and corresponding methods for their solution are demonstrated. Essential examples are given.
