ODL 690 - Developing Effective Decision Making

3 Credit(s)

This course enhances students’ knowledge of the decision-making process in organizations, the key to an organization’s operation and the foundation for managers and supervisors at any level. It provides students with decision-making tools such as descriptive statistics, probability theory, hypothesis testing, decision analysis/tree, and more. Throughout this course, students learn different perspectives in the study of individual, group, and organizational decision making, and they investigate the pros and cons of various theories and approaches under these perspectives. Students are required to consider the role of rationality and non-rationality in decision making and examine how uncertainty and ambiguity may impact their perceptions of choices and risks. This course is the same as UCS 390 and cannot earn credit for both courses.
