Week 4 - strategy and decision-making

In week 4, we continue to look at strategy and decisions.  We take account of decisions made at different levels in the hierarchy - strategic, tactical, operational - and consider to what extent the outcome could be known or predicted.  Some decisions are made in face of uncertainty, some with a degree of risk, whereas others have a certain outcome.  It is this last group that can most readily be programmed, and we look at decision trees and decision tables that indicate the different options.  There is no room for judgement in structured decisions, it is a question of following the rules.  Expertise and judgement can be used in unstructured, and sometimes in semi-structured decisions.  The slides are in the strategy tab.

Week 3 - more on strategy

This week will be looking more at strategy, including swot analysis and the BCG matrix

Week 2 - Strategy

This week we will begin to consider various aspects of strategy, and the tools and techniques that are employed for identifying and evaluating different concepts.
