Profile of the subject

Theory and Models of Decision-Making

Instructor: Жељко Рачић, PhD, Associate Professor

The goal of the subject is to enable students to make good business decisions. By getting to know the results of normative and behavioral decision theory, they will learn to correctly define the problem, clearly define objectives and their hierarchy, choose the criteria for evaluation of available alternatives and determine the relative importance of particular criteria, define the circumstances in which they take the decision and measure uncertainty, and then with the support of formal methods make rational choice and finally analyze the results of business decisions. They will learn how to make decisions in a group, what are the advantages and disadvantages of consensus and certain voting rules, as well as socio-psychological factors that influence the effectiveness of group decision making. Mastering the basic results of game theory and behavioral theory of negotiation will help them to successfully resolve conflicting business situations. Finally, students will become familiar with the morally contentious issues in business and international business.
