Decision Analysis for Management Judgment

Buy
In an increasingly complex world, decision analysis has a major role
to play in helping decision makers to gain a greater understanding of
the problems they face. The main aim of this book is to make decision
analysis accessible to its largest group of potential users: managers
and administrators in business and public sector organizations, most
of whom, although expert at their work, are not mathematicians or
statisticians. We have therefore endeavored to write a book which
makes the methodology of decision analysis as ‘transparent’ as possible
so that little has to be ‘taken on trust’, while at the same time making
the minimum use of mathematical symbols and concepts. A chapter
introducing the ideas of probability has also been included for those
who have little or no background knowledge in this area.

The main focus of the book is on practical management problems,
but we have also considered theoretical issues where we feel that they
are needed for readers to understand the scope and applicability of a
particular technique. Many decision problems today are complicated
by the need to consider a range of issues, such as those relating to the
environment, and by the participation of divergent interest groups. To
reflect this, we have included extensive coverage of problems involving
multiple objectives and methods which are designed to assist groups of
decision makers to tackle decision problems. An important feature of
the book is the way in which it integrates the quantitative and psychological
aspects of decision making. Rather than dealing solely with the
manipulation of numbers, we have also attempted to address in detail
the behavioral issues which are associated with the implementation of
decision analysis. Besides being of interest to managers in general, the
book is also intended for use as a main text on a wide range of courses.
It is particularly suitable for people following courses in management
and administration, such as an MBA, or final-year undergraduate programs
in Business Studies, Quantitative Methods and Business DecisionAnalysis. Those studying for professional qualifications in areas like
accountancy, where recent changes in syllabuses have placed greater
emphasis on decision-making techniques, should also find the book
useful. Almost all the chapters are followed by discussion questions or
exercises, and we have included suggested answers to many of these
exercises at the end of the book.
