Rational Choice and Judgment: Decision Analysis for the Decider 理想选择与判断：决定者的决策分析 pdf 免费 地址 txt lrf 下载 kindle umd

The tools needed to make a better, more informed decision.

Decision ***ysis (DA) is the logic of *** a decision using quantitative models of the decider’s factual and value judgments.

DA is already widely used in business, government, medicine, economics, law, and science. However, most resources present only the logic and models rather than dem***trating how these methods can be effectively applied to the real world. This book offers an innovative approach to decision ***ysis by focusing on decision-*** tools that can be utilized immediately to make better, more informed decisi***.

It uses no mathematics beyond arithmetic.

Examining how deciders think about their choices, this book provides problem-solving techniques that not only reflect sound modeling but also meet other essential requirements: they build on the thinking and knowledge that deciders already possess; they provide knowledge in a form that people are able and willing to provide; they produce results that the decider can use; and they are based on intimate and continuous in***cti*** with the decider. The methods outlined in this text take into account such factors as the use, the user, the ***anization, available data, and subjective knowledge.

Replete with exercises, case studies, and observati*** from the author’s own extensive c***ulting experience, the book quickly engages readers and enables them to master decision ***ysis by doing rather than by simply reading. Using familiar situati***, it ***s how to handle knowledge as it unfolds in the real world. A term project is presented in the final chapter, in which readers can select an actual decision-*** problem and apply their newfound tools to prepare a recommendation. A sample report is provided in the appendix.

Beginning with qualitative structuring, the text advances to sophisticated quantitative skills that can be applied in both public and private enterprise, including:

· Modeling decision-*** under conditi*** of uncertainty or multiple objectives

· Risk ***ysis and assessment

· Communicating and justifying controversial decisi***

· Personal life choices and political judgments

· Adapting decision aid to ***anizati***

The book’s broad applicability makes it an excellent resource for any ***anization or as a textbook for decision-*** courses in a variety of fields, including public policy, business management, systems engineering and general education.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed soluti*** to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department (email ialine@wiley.com) or directly from rexvbrown@aol.com.

This book deals with logical methods for the improvement of decision *** in public and private enterprises. It promotes the development and use of logical methods for the improvement of decision-*** in public and private enterprise. Such methods include models for decision-*** under conditi*** of uncertainty or multiple objectives; techniques of risk ***ysis and risk assessment; experimental and de*ive studies of decision-*** behavior; economic ***ysis of competitive and strategic decisi***; and techniques for facilitating decision-*** by groups.

书籍介绍

The tools needed to make a better, more informed decision.

Decision ***ysis (DA) is the logic of *** a decision using quantitative models of the decider’s factual and value judgments.  DA is already widely used in business, government, medicine, economics, law, and science. However, most resources present only the logic and models rather than dem***trating how these methods can be effectively applied to the real world. This book offers an innovative approach to decision ***ysis by focusing on decision-*** tools that can be utilized immediately to make better, more informed decisi***.  It uses no mathematics beyond arithmetic.

Examining how deciders think about their choices, this book provides problem-solving techniques that not only reflect sound modeling but also meet other essential requirements: they build on the thinking and knowledge that deciders already possess; they provide knowledge in a form that people are able and willing to provide; they produce results that the decider can use; and they are based on intimate and continuous in***cti*** with the decider. The methods outlined in this text take into account such factors as the use, the user, the ***anization, available data, and subjective knowledge.

Replete with exercises, case studies, and observati*** from the author’s own extensive c***ulting experience, the book quickly engages readers and enables them to master decision ***ysis by doing rather than by simply reading. Using familiar situati***, it ***s how to handle knowledge as it unfolds in the real world. A term project is presented in the final chapter, in which readers can select an actual decision-*** problem and apply their newfound tools to prepare a recommendation. A sample report is provided in the appendix.

Beginning with qualitative structuring, the text advances to sophisticated quantitative skills that can be applied in both public and private enterprise, including:

· Modeling decision-*** under conditi*** of uncertainty or multiple objectives

· Risk ***ysis and assessment

· Communicating and justifying controversial decisi***

· Personal life choices and political judgments
