Canonical Decision Problems
Abstract
Involves seven canonical decision problems--basic problems in management that arise with surprising frequency. Although these exercises are simplified versions of these problems, they have been written to preserve the "essence" of the decision situations. The problems include product development sequencing, options for flexibility, market research, litigation, inventory decisions under uncertainty, bidding decisions, and choosing among theories.
