This course exposes students to the concepts, methods and techniques of decision analysis to conceptualize real world managerial problems, analyze them and find workable solutions. The course covers topics such as: decision trees, decision making under uncertainty, value of information, risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulation, risk attitude, and multi objective decisions. A real world project and written case analyses provide avenues for practical learning. COURSE DESCRIPTION (ELABORATE) Major objectives of this course are: (1) To understand basic concepts, methods and techniques of decision analysis; (2) To develop capability to use quantitative techniques (in relation to decision analysis) for analyzing and solving real world managerial problems; (3) To have hands on experience of developing spreadsheet models (using Microsoft Excel and an add on software namely Palisade Suite) for modeling and analyzing decisions; Decision Analysis / Science is a branch of science that focuses on utilizing quantitative techniques for the purpose for making sound managerial decisions under various forms of constraints (economic, temporal and behavioral) faced in the real world problems. These problems may belong to an organziation s functional areas such as finance, operations, engineering, HRM and marketing functions etc. The problems may also be interdisciplinary in nature in which case function or discipline specific techniques when applied to solving these problems may not necessarily result into practical solutions. In such scenarios the techniques developed within the discipline of decision analysis may provide broader frameworks and concepts that render practical solutions to such problems. There are numerous examples in various disciplines where decision analysis concepts are needed for making sound decisions, for example in software engineering (e.g. decision about choosing one technology or process over the other), legal decisions (e.g., understanding the effects of economic pressures on attributions of responsibility), risk assessments (e.g., assessing risks of nuclear power or missile tests), marketing (e.g. launching specific product in a market) and managerial decision making (e.g., correcting
2 biases in the assessment of risk). The decision analysis concepts and frameworks are equally applicable in problems belonging to many other disciplines as well. Decision analysis relies heavily on decision theory which is concerned with identifying values of different alternatives, uncertainties involved, their utilities, and other issues relevant to a given decision, its rationality, and the resulting optimal decision. In order to exercise these concepts decision theory borrows some of the concepts from probability theory. In order to achieve aforementioned objectives two major steps have been taken while designing the course: (1) a number of real world case studies are used in order to better comprehend applicability of decision analysis concepts and techniques in real world problems. Extended class room discussions on case study analyses will be instrumental in understanding key issues pertaining to application, managerial concerns, and assumptions around the technique while focusing on the real world problem, (2) a number of lab sessions have been included in order to develop practical skills of configuring and using spreadsheets for decision analysis.

Class Participation Policy Class participation grading will be carried out as per the following rules: a) 0 for attending the class but coming late. b) 0.25 for attending the class without any participation in class discussions. c) 0.5 to 0.7 for little participation in the class discussion (awarded for engaging in a discussion, asking questions relevant to a discussion, describing case facts, giving an opinion or idea in relation to the discussion). d) 1.0 to 1.5 for good participation in the class discussion (awarded for giving a valid contradictory viewpoint or comprehensive argument or rationale behind a concept). e) 2.0 for very good participation in the class discussion (awarded for hitting multiple es as mentioned above) f) 2.5 for excellent participation in the class discussion (awarded for bringing to the class and supporting with solid argument some concepts which even instructor does not know) Group Project Students will engage in a group project. The group size will be decided based on course enrollment. Students will identify a decision situation in an organization and apply course concepts thus formulating and analyzing the problem. Following this they will synthesize and suggest an appropriate solution to the problem. They will share their solution with the case study organization, and understand from company personnel the likely problems in implementing their solutions. The feedback obtained from the company personnel will be incorporated in the final project report. A detailed description on group project will be provided once the course starts. *** A few of the student projects will be shortlisted for conversion into teaching cases. Students will be asked if they are interested to convert their projects into teaching cases that will be published in an international conference / case journal and will make part of the DA course in the future.

Project presentations (mandatory attendance by all students) FINAL EXAM preference? Read specified material and 1. Be prepared to discuss all the decision approaches described in the note and consider how the approaches might be applied to the case. 2. Rate the four quantitative attributes, determine the appropriate weights for the attributes and compare the three locations. If you had to phase in the consolidations one at a time, in what order would you do them? 3. How sensitive is your ranking to the weights you assigned? 4. How would you score plant size at site 1 if the sales were $30 million at plant A rather than $3 million? Would you change the range of the scale, or the weight of the attribute, or both? 5. Implicit in your analysis are some trade offs that can be calculated. For example, what is the dollar value (in terms of initial cost) of improving the labor attribute by 1 unit on the 10 point scale? multi objective decisions and structuring them. Additive utility function as a method of analyzing multiobjective decisions.
