Techniques and Tools Providing Strategic Decision Support: A Framework, Review, and Guidelines
Abstract
This report represents an extension to, and update of, Technical Report 87-1: Methods and tools for structuring and analysing decision problems: A review and catalogue, and Technical Report 88-1: Building a decision problem structuring library: a review of some possibilities. It surveys and describes the potential applications of 58 tools for structuring and analysing decision problems. It examines the mode of operation and support capabilities of the more promising tools in detail and concludes with an overall evaluation and guidelines for future tool development. All this is done within the context of a general procedural schema (described in chapter 2) for handling strategic decision problems effectively, from start to finish, in situations that start out unstructured: that is, in newly occurring, nonrepeated situations in which the structure of the problem is, of necessity, initially unclear (e.g., making plans for developing new areas of activity, developing new intervention strategies, selecting between competing research projects, etc.) (kr)
