POTENTIAL RESEARCH TOPICS IN DECISION ANALYSIS*

In: Decision sciences, Band 13, Heft 4, S. 547-550

Abstract

Robert L. Winkler's paper [1] provides a comprehensive overview of challenging research areas for decision making under uncertainty. Hence, rather than try to extend the list of research areas identified, this note will attempt to embellish some that I feel are particularly important. In these areas, I feel the value of systematic research is particularly high.For convenience, the discussion will be organized under the four research categories identified by Winkler with a couple of sugestions following in an "implementation research" category. The reader will note, however, that many of the suggested topics actually relate to more than one research category.
