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
