Synopsis
Excerpt from The Decision Data Base
An increasing number of managers have come to realize that transactional data in their corporate data bases cannot be used directly to analyze many of their important decision problems. The difficulty is especially apparent if the problems involve large sets of numerical data. This is the case, for example, when managers are confronted with facilities location, production scheduling, or other value chain management problems. It is also the case for portfolio selection and related financial decision problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the Decision Data Base (DDB), a resource for business decision-making. The author emphasizes its value in analyzing complex, data-intensive problems in value chain management and financial decision-making. The DDB is constructed by inductively analyzing business problems to create coherent models. The author presents two case studies demonstrating the DDB's practical significance in logistics and portfolio selection.
