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, multi objective decisions, optimization models, matrix games, negotiation analysis to name a few. 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 a capability to use quantitative techniques (in relation to decision analysis) for analyzing and solving real world managerial problems; (3) To have a 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 organization 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 holistic or 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
2 power or missile tests), marketing (e.g. launching specific product in a market) and managerial decision making (e.g., correcting 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.
