    Study Notes

    Factors Influencing Decision-Making

    • Multiple factors influence decision-making outcomes.
    • Individual biases, group dynamics, available information quality, and time constraints all play a role.
    • The relative importance of each factor varies depending on the context.

    Purpose of Decision Analysis

    • Decision analysis aims to improve decisions by structuring the problem, identifying options, and evaluating potential outcomes.
    • It utilizes formal methods like decision trees and influence diagrams to aid in choosing the best course of action.

    Techniques for Group Decision-Making

    • Brainstorming is widely used for generating creative solutions and encouraging open discussion among group members.

    Data Overload in Decision-Making

    • Too much data can lead to analysis paralysis, making it difficult to prioritize information and reach a timely decision.
    • Unnecessary data can also introduce noise and complicate decision making, hindering the identification of relevant factors.

    Bounded Rationality and Decision Making

    • Bounded rationality recognizes that human decision-making is limited by cognitive abilities, time, and information availability.
    • It influences decisions by leading individuals to make decisions that are "good enough" rather than optimal, focusing on satisficing rather than maximizing.
