IS3301 Computer-Based Tools for Decision Support
This course introduces the principles for designing, implementing and using computer-based tools to support a variety of decision-making situations. A key objective of the course is to introduce managerial decision-making technology in a format that is not too abstract or too mathematical. We cover a variety of analytical techniques for decision making in complex environments, involving single or multiple criteria made under certainty and uncertainty. Students learn the difference between building "private" models and "public" models and are introduced to software engineering practices for engineering quality models. Exemplary computer-based applications that support or involve the use of formal decision making methods and tools are discussed. Group projects will supplement and reinforce the course's learning objectives.
