Decision-Making and Resource Allocation

Abstract

Modern decision-makers using the systematic approach known as systems analysis as a decision-making tool are faced with the delicate problem of choosing the correct method of analysis and application of resources to this analysis effort. This study examines the broad concept of systems analysis. The application of two methods of analysis, cost effectiveness and the pay off table, is illustrated. It concludes that an understanding of the factors a decision-maker must consider in selecting the method and extent of analysis effort is necessary in order to perform fruitful analysis efforts.
