The aim of this paper is to determine the most efficient strategic alternative in the case of a notary office, by taking into account the expected values associated to different levels of supplementary services requests by its customers. The determination of expected monetary values associated to the strategic alternatives by means of WinQSB software confirms the hypotheses concerning the feasibility analysis results and the manager’s ability to make the right decision from the financial point of view. Thus, the manager of the notary office will be able to make efficient decisions regarding the business development plan by using appropriate software tools, which deliver real time results in different simulation scenarios. Once the optimal decision is found, the notary office can seek to improve its business development strategy by taking into account more options and levels of supplementary services requests from the part of its customers.

Economy Benefit

Benefit evaluation plays a very important role in the guiding of feasibility analysis and decision-making of rainwater utilization projects. This paper evaluated the benefits of roofwater reuse project in Jinan city; it is shown that the project has a national economy benefit obviously with a deficit in financial appraisal. The treated roofwater was used directly or injected into karst groundwater with deep well, which has a great ecological and social benefit, especially for the protection of springs in Jinan city.

The Government

The Government of Ontario has recently introduced legislation which would allow municipalities to implement inclusionary zoning, a policy tool which would require developers to include affordable housing units in new residential developments. This study examines the potential impacts that implementing an inclusionary zoning program would have on the decision making process of developers operating in the Toronto housing market. The author found that without sufficient incentives inclusionary zoning policies impact the financial returns new developments are able to generate. This paper concludes that in order for inclusionary zoning to be successfully implemented without causing financial hardship on developers, incentives such as density bonuses should be offered.

Observer Model

AbstractRahnev & Denison (R&D) argue against normative theories and in favor of a more descriptive “standard observer model” of perceptual decision making. We agree with the authors in many respects, but we argue that optimality (specifically, reward-rate maximization) has proved demonstrably useful as a hypothesis, contrary to the authors’ claims.

Bayesian Decision Making

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
