Summary
The complexity of many strategic and operational decisions requires a systematic approach to decision making, which can sift through numerous (interacting) options, trading off multiple (quantitative and qualitative) objectives, incorporating conflicting stakeholder opinions, while minimizing risks and handling huge amounts of data. Such decisions can greatly benefit from state-of-the-art decision support tools. We develop such decision support systems, using decision analysis and optimization, for problems in the areas of project portfolio selection, project management, logistics, and marketing.
