Decision Analysis Consulting Projects.

Abstract

This report discusses a decision analysis course taught the fall semester of 1994 at the United States Air Force Academy. Students assisted five companies in the Colorado Springs business community make multi-million dollar, strategic decisions. The consultation-based format of this course provided an excellent opportunity for the students to solve real-world problems in a team-oriented manner. The students learned that such problems are not standard textbook problems. There are no answers in the back of the book. Rather, they learned that real-world problems require modeling assumptions, clear communication, and the ability to get along with others. Both the students and the companies benefited from this course.The companies received insight to one decision, while the students participated in an unique learning experience.
