Acquire a framework for analyzing decision problems by breaking them down into manageable parts. Examine tools and methods available for structuring and modeling decision problems.
Objective
Uncertainty and complexity make many decisions difficult, especially those involving R&D projects, new products and new ventures. This program provides an introduction to decision and risk analysis – the systematic evaluation of decision problems involving uncertainty. Decision and risk analysis provide a framework for analyzing decision problems by breaking them down into more manageable parts and explicitly considering the possible alternatives, available information, and the relevant preferences of the decision makers. We will discuss methods for structuring and modeling decision problems, and apply these methods to a variety of problems that involve risk and uncertainty.
