This unique resource fills this gap in the decision analysis literature and features both soft personal/interpersonal skills and the hard technical skills involving mathematics and modeling. Readers will learn how to identify and overcome the numerous challenges of decision making, choose the appropriate decision process, lead and manage teams, and create value for their organization.

Performing modeling analysis, assessing risk, and implementing decisions are also addressed throughout.

Additional features include: Key insights gleaned from decision analysis applications and behavioral decision analysis researchIntegrated coverage of the techniques of single- and multiple-objective decision analysisMultiple qualitative and quantitative techniques presented for each key decision analysis taskThree substantive real-world case studies illustrating diverse strategies for dealing with the challenges of decision makingExtensive references for mathematical proofs and advanced topics The Handbook of Decision Analysis is an essential reference for academics and practitioners in various fields including business, operations research, engineering, and science.

The book also serves as a supplement for courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.
