Do you want to reduce uncertainty in your decision making? Would you like to be mathematically certain you've made the right choice? Now you can with Bridging Decisions Into Solutions by Jonathan Keyes, Dr. Richard St. Clair, and Dr. Robert D. Gray. Bridging Decisions Into Solutions brings to business and academic settings a new, comprehensive approach to decision making and problem solving through the incorporation of a continuum of variables, quantitative methods, and qualitative cognition within a new conceptual framework.
Bridging Decisions Into Solutionsdemonstrates how
all decisions and actions are part of a decision process.
It presents a unique decision-making paradigm that can be
applied to decisions in management, business, academics or
education, research, and personal life. The book describes
and applies an effective decision process that considers
inputs and outputs, facilitates analytical methods, and
considers relevant variable relationships. You will be
introduced to the paradigm of the bridging process that
considers the spectrum of relevant variables necessary for
optimum decisions. It differentiates variables as either
facilitators (inputs into the decision process) or as
reciprocal impact factors (affective variables that impact
decisions application).
To help you see how to apply the principles in the book,
an ongoing and evolving case study illustrates the bridging
continuum. The book contains research methods and some
commonly used statistical tools to use to improve the
decision process. Even if you think you're no good at math,
you will be able to use the statistical tools described in
this book.
Bridging Decisions Into Solutions does not limit
you to one model or one approach to decision making. The
methods in the book can be applied to any field or academic
discipline, and to any problem needing resolution. A key
feature of the book is the demonstration of how decisions
can become effective applications of knowledge that solve
problems effectively. To assist you further, the book
presents different research models that can be followed to
accommodate the research objectives of different groups:
general research, business and management research; and
student research.
Bridging Decisions Into Solutions is available in
a paperback edition of approximately 256 pages, with
numerous illustrations, index, and helpful appendices.
