     Summary

This thought- provoking volume looks at the problems associated with developing solutions to complex and difficult needs of open societal systems. In answering such questions as “Where should we locate our new factory?” or “How do we cope with governmental regulation of our business?”, decision makers are often faced with incomplete information and problems of broad scope. COMPLEX DECISION PROBLEMS examines the nature of these problems and integrates 1) data gathering and problem perception; 2) interaction among participants to determine the strategic structure of the problems; and 3) communication, negotiation, and bargaining among the participants. Concepts from a wide range of disciplines are integrated into a thorough, well-balanced model for decision makers in today’s society.
