302: Decision Science Study Notes

302– Decision Science University Syllabus 2023 Chapter 1: Introduction of  Decision Science Decision Sciences is a field that combines various quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze complex problems and make informed decisions. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that draws on fields such as mathematics, statistics, economics, psychology, and computer science to develop analytical methods and tools to improve decision-making. The importance of Decision Sciences lies in its ability to help individuals and organizations make data-driven decisions. In today's complex and rapidly changing business environment, decision-making is often complicated by a vast amount of data and multiple factors to consider. Decision Sciences offers a structured approach to decision-making by providing models and tools to analyze data and evaluate options. Quantitative techniques play a critical role in decision-makin g as they provide a structured and objective approach to analyze data and ...

301– Strategic Management Study Notes

  301– SM Syllabus 2023 (Semester III) Chapter 1: Understanding Strategy A strategy is a long-term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal or set of goals. It is a blueprint for how an organization or individual intends to allocate resources, prioritize actions, and make decisions in order to achieve their objectives.   Strategy is about making thoughtful and deliberate choices about how to achieve your goals, and aligning your actions, resources, and decision-making with those choices. Corporate level strategy: This is the highest level of strategy and is concerned with the overall direction and scope of the entire organization. It involves decisions about what businesses to be in, what markets to compete in, and how to allocate resources among different business units. Business level strategy: This level of strategy focuses on a specific business unit or subsidiary within the organization. It involves decisions about how to compete in a specific market or indust...
