Decision Analysis
• An analytic and systematic approach to the study of decision making• Based on logic
• Considers all possible alternatives
• Examines all available information about the future
• Applies the decision modeling approach
![Page 5: 8-1 CHAPTER 8 Decision Analysis. 8-2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.List the steps of the decision-making process and describe the different types of decision-making](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649daa5503460f94a98482/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Five Steps
1. Clearly define the problem2. List all possible alternatives3. Identify all possible outcomes for
each alternative4. Identify the payoff for each alternative
and outcome combination5. Use a decision modeling technique to
choose an alternative
