Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portfolio Decision Analysis: Improved Methods for Resource Allocation provides an extensive, up-to-date coverage of decision analytic methods which help firms and public organizations allocate resources to 'lumpy' investment opportunities while explicitly recognizing relevant financial and non-financial evaluation criteria and the presence of alternative investment opportunities. In particular, it discusses the evolution of these methods, presents new methodological advances and illustrates their use across several application domains. The book offers a many-faceted treatment of portfolio decision analysis (PDA). Among other things, it (i) synthesizes the state-of-play in PDA, (ii) describes novel methodologies, (iii) fosters the deployment of these methodologies, and (iv) contributes to the strengthening of research on PDA. Portfolio problems are widely regarded as the single most important application context of decision analysis, and, with its extensive and unique coverage of these problems, this book is a much-needed addition to the literature. The book also presents innovative treatments of new methodological approaches and their uses in applications. The intended audience consists of practitioners and researchers who wish to gain a good understanding of portfolio decision analysis and insights into how PDA methods can be leveraged in different application contexts. The book can also be employed in courses at the post-graduate level.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No assertion can command attention in time of emergency like, 'It's a matter of life and death'. The problem of making decisions that can affect the likelihood of death is one of the most perplexing facing the analyst. As individuals, we are often called upon to make decisions that affect our safety, and other are increasingly making those decisions on our behalf. Yet most present approaches to life and death-decision making concentrate on the value of an individual's life to others rather than to himself. These approaches are both technically and ethically questionable. In this report, we develop a model for an individual who wishes to make life and death decisions on his own behalf or who wishes to delegate them to his agents. We show that an individual can use this model if he is willing to trade between the quality and the quantity of his life. A simplified version requires him to establish preference between the resources he disposes during his lifetime and the length of it, to establish probability assessments on these quantities, to characterize his ability to turn present cash into future income, and to specify his risk attitude. We can use this model to determine both what an individual would have to be paid to assume a given risk and what he would pay to avoid a given risk. The risks may range from those that are virtually infinitesimal to those that are imminently life threatening. We show that this model resolves a paradox posed by previously proposed models. In this model there is no inconsistency between an individual's refusing any amount of money, however large, to incur a large enough risk, and yet being willing to pay only a finite amount, his current wealth, to avoid certain death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on lecture notes from his acclaimed course at Stanford University, James March provides a brilliant introduction to decision making, a central human activity fundamental to individual, group, organizational, and societal life. March draws on research from all the disciplines of social and behavioral science to show decision making in its broadest context. By emphasizing how decisions are actually made -- as opposed to how they should be made -- he enables those involved in the process to understand it both as observers and as participants. March sheds new light on the decision-making process by delineating four deep issues that persistently divide students of decision making: Are decisions based on rational choices involving preferences and expected consequences, or on rules that are appropriate to the identity of the decision maker and the situation? Is decision making a consistent, clear process or one characterized by ambiguity and inconsistency? Is decision making significant primarily for its outcomes, or for the individual and social meanings it creates and sustains? And finally, are the outcomes of decision processes attributable solely to the actions of individuals, or to the combined influence of interacting individuals, organizations, and societies? March's observations on how intelligence is -- or is not -- achieved through decision making, and possibilities for enhancing decision intelligence, are also provided. March explains key concepts of vital importance to students of decision making and decision makers, such as limited rationality, history-dependent rules, and ambiguity, and weaves these ideas into a full depiction of decision making. He includes a discussion of the modern aspects of several classic issues underlying these concepts, such as the relation between reason and ignorance, intentionality and fate, and meaning and interpretation. This valuable textbook by one of the seminal figures in the history of organizational decision making will be required reading for a new generation of scholars, managers, and other decision makers.
