Hi
Analog model 44
Behaves like a real system but does not look like it, a symbolic representation of reality
Simulation
Imitation of reality
Choice phases 46
Includes selection of a proposed solution to the model, this is tested for viability when the proposed seems reasonable we are ready for implementation
Decision making 42
Process of choosing among two or more alternative courses of action for the purpose of attaining one or more goals
Decision style 42
The manner by which decision makers think and react to problems
Decision variable 50
Describe the alternatives from among which a manager must chose ( how many cares, how to advertise, which web server to buy or lease)
Descriptive model 54
Describe things as they are or as they are believed to be, typically mathematically based
Design phase 46
A model that represent the system is constructed, done by making assumptions that simplify reality and writing down all the relationships among variables
Iconic model 44
Also called a scale model, is a physical replica of the system, usually on a different scale from the original. The lease abstracted model.
Implementation phase 59
Involves putting a recommended solution to work, not necessarily implementing a computer system.
Intelligence phase 46
The decision maker examines reality and identifies the problem, collects data, creates the problem statement
Mental model 51
Descriptive representations of decision making situations that people form in their heads and think about
Optimization 51
Determine the best possible solution
Principle of choice 51
Is a criterion that describes the acceptability of a solution approach
