Study Notes
Decision Making Process
- The process of decision making involves identifying a problem, gathering information, and choosing a course of action to solve the problem.
Single-Criterion Decision Problem
- A single-criterion decision problem is a type of decision problem where the choice is based on a single factor or criterion.
Problem Solving
- Problem solving is the process of identifying a problem, generating and evaluating solutions, and implementing the best solution.
Multicriteria Decision Problem
- In a multicriteria decision problem, the objective is to find the best alternative that satisfies multiple conflicting criteria.
Decision-Making Model
- A model in the context of decision-making represents a simplified representation of a real-world problem or situation.
Alternative in Decision-Making
- An alternative in the context of decision-making refers to a possible course of action or solution to a problem.
Note: These bullet points aim to provide a concise and clear summary of the key concepts related to decision making, focusing on the key facts and definitions.
