Models and Managers: The Concept of a Decision Calculus (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Make better decisions with models you can actually use.

This book introduces the idea of a decision calculus—a model-based system that helps managers interpret data and judgments to improve choices at work. It explains how to design simple, robust tools that a manager can control. The focus is on the dynamic between the manager and the model, not on jargon or theory. Through practical examples like advertising budgets and brand planning, you’ll see how models inform action while keeping the manager in charge.

• Learn why many models fail in real-world use and how to avoid common pitfalls.
• Discover a practical approach to building model-based decisions that are easy to understand and trust.
• See how input data, sensitivity analysis, and updates from results shape better strategies.
• Explore how to tailor a model so it becomes an extension of your own thinking.
