Decision Analysis and Its Application to the Naval Education and Training Command.
Abstract
The report considers decision making at the top management levels of the Naval Education and Training Command. Traditionally top management decision making relies heavily on informal techniques--intuitive judgments by experienced managers, traditions and 'rules of thumb' peculiar to each organization, or informal consensus among a group of managers. Currently, however, the training command must do a job which is unprecedented in its complexity and must do it despite declining resources. These considerations indicate the desirability of increased effectiveness in decision making. This report surveys the potential role of and desirability of more formal approaches to some top management decision problems.
