Study Notes
Introduction to Decision Making and Quantitative Methods
- A decision is a commitment to action that requires the commitment of resources such as people, money, equipment, time, premises, etc.
- Decisions are made with regard to all aspects of the management process: inputs, outputs, and transformations.
- There are four types of decisions: strategic, operational, programmed, and non-programmed.
- Strategic decisions are long-term decisions on the future direction of the organization that relate to the world outside the organization and require the commitment of major resources.
- Operational decisions are shorter-term decisions often on day-to-day matters and within established policy.
- Programmed decisions deal with familiar problems or with well-structured situations and are based on established procedures or policies.
- Non-programmed decisions deal with unstructured situations requiring a unique solution and depend on personal judgment.
- The decision-making process is an eight-step process that includes identifying a problem, selecting and implementing a solution, and evaluating its effectiveness.
- Decision making can occur under different conditions such as certainty, uncertainty, risk, and ambiguity.
- Quantitative methods can be used to select the best alternative, especially for programmed decisions.
- Different quantitative methods are based on different criteria and produce different results.
- Examples of quantitative methods include Laplace method, Maximax method, Maximin method, and Expected Value method.
