ABSTRACTIn the recent past life companies have made many decisions which they have had cause to deeply regret. This paper looks at the range of decision making theories available. It then examines recent examples of decisions that had unfavourable consequences and explores why they were taken, and goes on to describe a systematic approach to decision making which can help management assess more objectively the difficult choices confronting them today. The approach does not require espousal of any specific decision theory or method of value measurement. The focus is on the decision making process and the organisation's capacity to handle change. The paper identifies the three requirements for effective decision making.

Decision trees are part of the decision theory and are excellent tools in the decision-making process. Majority of decision tree learning methods were developed within the last 30 years by scholars like Quinlan, Mitchell, and Breiman, just to name a few (Ozgulbas & Koyuncugil, 2006). There are a number of methods and sophisticated software used to graphically present decision trees. Decision trees have a great number of benefits and are widely used in many business functions as well as different industries. However there are also disagreements and various concerns as to how useful decision trees really are. As technology evolves so do decision trees. Therefore not only do many controversies arise but also solutions and new proposals to these arguments.

Decision Making Model

Abstract: There are different theories that try to explain the decision making process. These theories set out some possible decision scenarios. In this article we applied the decision theory to the different options offered by SIEFORES yields, in order to demonstrate performance and risk in some scenario. In this paper first at all we study decision theory, following we explain the SIEFORES system in Mexico. In the last part we apply decision making model to the SIEFORES.Keywords: Decision theory, SIEFORES, the expected utility theoremResumen: Existen diferentes teorías que, bajo razonamientos matemáticos, tratan de explicar el proceso de toma de decisiones. En dichas teorías se establecen algunos de los posibles escenarios de decisión. En el presente artículo se aplica la teoría de las decisiones a las diferentes alternativas que ofrecen los rendimientos de las SIEFORES, con el fin de demostrar el rendimiento y el riesgo que, bajo diversos escenarios, proporcionan dichas alternativas. En este trabajo se plantea primeramente la teoría de las decisiones. Seguidamente se hace un recorrido por el sistema de SIEFORES en México para ubicar al lector en la problemática que nos ocupa. Finalmente se aplica el modelo de toma dedecisiones a las SIEFORES.Palabras clave: Teoría de decisiones, SIEFORES, Teorema de la Utilidad Esperada

Synoptic Table

Assuming that the synoptic reading of partial theories is of use in the building of cumulative theories, the author seeks to establish common points between theories of the decision-making process in foreign policy and theories of power and egotiation at the international level. This paper seeks as well to complement these latter two types of theory with the findings of decision theory. After having justified his undertaking by the relations existing between observed phenomena - that is, decision, power and negotiation - and by the absence of a theory taking these three phenomena into account, the' author sets out the plan of his reflection in function of the distinctions between the approaches and factors emphasized by the various decision theories. The text considers the defining elements of the most important contributions of the specialists on the question. To conclude, the author provides a synoptic table of the main observations of his analysis. This table, which in the author's opinion is able to account for specific situations that are not explicitly described therein, demonstrates that the paradigms of theories of power and negotiation may only be established by reference to the decision paradigm.

Feature Match

The purpose of this article is to outline a decision-making process and highlight which portions of the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluation process deserve special attention when deciding which features are required for a communication system in order to provide optimal benefit for the user. The clinician then will be able to use a feature-match approach as part of the decision-making process to determine whether mobile technology or a dedicated device is the best choice for communication. The term mobile technology will be used to describe off-the-shelf, commercially available, tablet-style devices like an iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad®, and Android® or Windows® tablet.

Slow Progress

Women today are considered to be outside the political and administrative power structures and their participation in the decision-making process is non-existent. As far as their participation in the political life is concerned they are still on the margins. The existence of patriarchal society in Lebanon as well as the absence of governmental policies and procedures that aim at helping women and enhancing their political participation has made it very difficult for women to be accepted as leaders and to be granted votes in elections (UNIFEM, 2002).This above quote is taken from a report that was prepared to assess the progress made regarding the status of Lebanese women both on the social and governmental levels in light of the Beijing Platform for Action – the name given to the provisions of the Fourth Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. The above quote describes the slow progress achieved by Lebanese women in view of the ambitious goal that requires that the proportion of women occupying administrative or political positions in Lebanon should reach 30 percent of thetotal by the year 2005!
