  • An investigation of the influence of choice structure on decision making behavior

    Creator:
    Dervitsiotis, Kostas N.
    Abstract:
    The behavior of individuals in decision making under risk was investigated using choice structures of greater complexity than the types examined in previous studies. The experiment performed consisted of two phases. In Phase I a basic utility function for money was derived for each subject using lotteries with two equally...

  • A study of strategic and tactical decision making procedures

    Creator:
    Elsner, Brian Jerome
    Abstract:
    An extensive literature survey investigated methods and approaches for evaluating intangible economic factors at the strategic and tactical levels of managerial decision making.

  • Systems tableau : an integrated approach to systems theory

    Creator:
    Inoue, Michael Shigeru
    Abstract:
    Systems Tableau is suggested as a convenient tool for the integration of the three phases of systems theory: the synthesis of a model from the analysis of a system; the evaluation of the model; and the decision-making process for the design and control of the resulting system. From a basic...

  • A matrix game approach to linear programming

    Creator:
    Park, Tongkyu
    Abstract:
    It is the hope and expectation of many specialists in the area of linear programming that a major improvement in solution techniques for handling large-scale models with thousands of constraints will be developed in the near future. Although the present state of the art for solving linear programs is still...

  • An integrated approach to the evaluation of multiattributed alternatives in facility siting studies

    Creator:
    West, Thomas Moore
    Abstract:
    Facility location studies involve the selection of a preferred course of action from an array of multiattributed alternatives. The factors affecting this selection are defined in both quantifiable and qualifiable terms. The former comprises primarily monetary or operational data, and the latter consists of nonmonetary and environmental parameters; where the...

    Creator:
    McVicar, Robert William
    Abstract:
    A sinking fund payment must be made each year to retire a bond issue. Instead of paying cash, the corporation will typically surrender bonds that it has purchased on the open market. The sinking fund problem is to determine an optimal strategy in the form of a stopping rule to...
