Understandings of the nature of science and decision making on science and technology based issues

Creator:: Bell, Randy Lee
Abstract:: Current reforms emphasize the development of scientific literacy as the principal goal of science education. The nature of science is considered a critical component of scientific literacy and is assumed to be an important factor in decision making on science and technology based issues. However, little research exists that delineates...

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. These sources provided: 1) the background for a theoretical decision making algorithm developed for comparing alternative economic proposals for effectiveness at the strategy levels, and 2) a...

Entrepreneurs’ start-up versus persistence decisions: A critical evaluation of expectancy and value

Creator:: Holland, Daniel V. and Garrett, Robert P.
Abstract:: Research suggests that entrepreneurs tend to seek to maximize utility when considering whether to pursue a new venture opportunity. However, when choosing whether to persist with their current venture or not, utility maximization may not be of primary importance. Using a conjoint experiment, we examine the difference between policies in...

Consideration of uncertainty in forest management decision-making

Creator:: Thompson, Emmett Frank
Abstract:: Management decisions are generally considered to be made under one of three categories of future knowledge: certainty, risk, or uncertainty. All three categories occur in forest management. However, forest management decisions whose outcomes are dependent upon future levels of timber yields, prices, utilization standards, or social and legal institutions are...

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 sampling procedure to detect alternative actions in a decision model for choosing among apple harvesting systems

Creator:: Rudkin, Terry Harrold
Abstract:: Numerous analytical aids are available to apple producers to assist them in the decision problem of choosing among alternative apple harvesting systems. However, a majority of these techniques fail to recognize the effect of apple orchard yield variability on system performance and economic efficiency. Furthermore, many of the suggested procedures...

An Engineering Decision Support System (EDSS) with alternative-criterion pair evaluations

Creator:: Herling, Derald E.
Abstract:: An Engineering Decision Support System, EDSS, was developed using Bayesian mathematics which incorporates knowledge and confidence components observed in alternative-criterion pair decision making. The separation of knowledge and confidence has been previously unaccounted for in decision-making methods. EDSS provides decision support to individuals or teams which must make choices between...

Just enough die-level functional test : optimizing IC test via machine learning and decision theory

Creator:: Fountain, Tony R.
Abstract:: This research explores the hypothesis that methods from decision theory and machine learning can be combined to provide practical solutions to current manufacturing control problems. This hypothesis is explored by developing an integrated approach to solving one manufacturing problem - the optimization of die-level functional test. An integrated circuit (IC)...

FATE group decision support system in transportation decision making

Creator:: Taekratok, Thaweesak
Abstract:: Two interesting challenges have been created in the traditional transportation planning process through recent adoption of more interactive roles by Federal, State and local transportation agencies and of those representing the communities being impacted by proposed transportation projects. First, the decision-making groups that formerly included solely transportation and related professionals...
