According to Peter Drucker: Decision making
is a rational and systematic process and that its
organization is a definite sequence of steps,
each of them in turn rational and systematic.
The Decision Making Process that will bedescribed here is called the DECIDE Method

Define the Problem Enumerate Decision Factors
Consider Relevant Information
Identify the best Alternative Develop a Plan for Implementing a Chosen
Alternative
Evaluate the Decision and the Decision
Process

According to philosopher John Dewey: Aproblem well defined is half solved
The Problem Definition Framework consists of:
- Objectives of the Decision Maker- Recognition of Constraints
- Clearly articulated Success Measure
Eg: How can we maintain our quality brand image(objective) and regain our lost market share(success measure) given limited funds foradvertising and sales promotion (constraint).

There are two sets of Decision Factors:- Alternative Courses of Action: These are
controllable as the decision maker has completecommand over them. Eg. Product Market
Strategies or Changes in various elements of theorganizations marketing mix.
- Uncertainties in the competitive environment:These are uncontrollable factors that the
manager cannot influence. Eg. CompetitorActions, Buyer response to a marketing action,Market size, etc

Relevant informationconsists of information thatrelates to the alternatives identified by themanager as being likely to affect future events.Includes characteristics of the following:
- Industry- Consumers
- Competitors
- Organization: Competitive Strengths and Position
- Alternatives

Identifying relevant information is difficult:- There is often too much information and viewpoints.- Determining what does and does not matter
is a skill learned through experience.
- Dont consider everything as factual information.- Sometimes relevant info must be created
Eg. Blending several pieces of data: calculation ofsimple breakeven point.
After completing Steps 1 to 3, the manager hascompleted the Situational Analysis.

This step consists of Decision Analysis:- Matches each alternative with the uncertainties in the
environment.
- Assigns a quantitative value to the outcomeassociated with each match
Uses a decision tree and a payoff table toshow the relationship among alternatives,uncertainties, and potential outcomes

Example : El Nachos Food: Product: FrozenDinners
Alternative Courses of Action:- Reduce Price- Maintain Price
Uncertainties about Competitors:- Maintain Lower Price- Reduce Price further

We will now make use of a Payoff Table:
A Payoff Table displays the alternatives,
uncertainties, and outcomes facing a firm.
It includes managements determination ofthe probability of an uncertaintys occurrence

Reduce Price $150,000 $110,000
Maintain Price $175,000 $90,000

Decision Analysis and Value of Information:A1 Reduce Price A2 Maintain Price
EMV Expected Monetary Value EMVPI EMV of PerfectInformation
EMV(A1) = (0.9 $150,000) + (0.1 $110,000) = $146,000
EMV(A2) = (0.9 $175,000) + (0.1 $90,000) = $166,500
EMV(Certainty)=(0.9$175,000)+ (0.1$110,000)=$168,500EMVPI = EMV(Certainty) EMV(Best Alternative)
= $168,500 - $166,500 = $2000.

EMVPI is viewed as the upper limit to pay for perfect information.
It is a useful guide as far as expenditure on Marketing Researchis concerned.
Decision analysis is important because it:
- Is a fundamental tool for considering what if situations.
- Forces the manager to quantify outcomes associated withspecific actions.
- Is useful in a variety of settings
- Can be used in determining the value of perfect information

The Execution phase is critical. Planning for itforces case analyst to consider resourceallocation and timing questions.
Allocating marketing, financial, andmanufacturing resources.
The time needed to develop a marketing plan

With respect to the decision itself, ask:
Was a decision made?
Was the decision proper given the situation?- Insufficient information present?
- Failure to consider and interpret relevant
information?- Logical assumptions made regarding data gaps?
-
7/29/2019 Chapter 3 Ashwin Mridul Sanjay Neelesh
17/25
Ask 5 questions of the decision-making process:
- Was the problem defined adequately?- Were all the pertinent alternatives and uncertainties
identified? Were the assumptions realistic?- Was all the relevant information considered?
- Was an appropriate course of action recommended?Was the logic consistent? Was any important piece of
information overlooked?- How can the recommendation be implemented?

Approaching a Case:- On the first reading, you should concentrateon getting acquainted with the situation theorganization finds itself in.
- First reading is used to gain insights into thecase and also to obtain backgroundinformation on the organization and
environment.- Second reading is used to determine the
reliability and relevance of data.

Approaching a Case: Pitfalls- Rushing to a Conclusion
- Working the numbers before their fullmeaning and derivation is understood.
- Confusing Supposition with Fact.

- Potential Outcomes1. Potential outcomes of all possible courses
of action should be evaluated.
2. On the basis of the appraisal one course ofaction should be recommended
3. The evaluation must also tell why the othercourses of action were eliminated.
-
7/29/2019 Chapter 3 Ashwin Mridul Sanjay Neelesh
23/25
- Teams for Case Analysis1. Should be a balanced team with the skill
sets of the members complementing eachother.
2. Avoid Groupthink Tendency of groupsthat work together for a long period of timeto produce poorly reasoned results.

Communicating the Case Analysis- Class Discussion1. 4-5 hours of case preparation prior to the
discussion2. Carefully listen to the viewpoints of other
students during the discussion3. Prepare short summary after the discussion.
- Oral Presentation1. It provide an opportunity to verbalize youranalysis and recommendations and visuallyenhance your remarks with visual aids.
-

- Written Report1. Be carefully organized and grammatically
correct.
2. Has three major sections:
