Decision tree analysis Sample Clauses

Decision tree analysis. Another approach to deal with uncertainty and complexity is decision tree analysis (DTA) This method could help managers to make decisions easily. Based on calculated series possible values, companies could use decision tree analysis to make outcomes easy to be understood and interpreted. Moreover, it is particularly useful for analyzing complex sequential investment decisions. DTA forces management not only to focus on the initial decisions like conventional NPV, but also make strategies for subsequent decisions. These decisions problems are not independent and could not be posed in terms of isolated decisions. The reason is that today’s decision we made depends on the future decisions. That means under uncertainty, decisions taken in the future may be influenced by present decisions (Xxxx X. Xxxxx, 1964).

Decision tree analysis. A decision tree analysis was conducted in order to learn the barriers to mothers attending MtMSGs and the perceived consequences if one does not attend MtMSGs. A tree was drawn on a large piece of paper and placed in the middle of the circle formed by participants. On the trunk of the tree the problem was written, which read, ‘Mothers not able to attend MtMSGs’. The participants were then asked to come up with the five main reasons why a mother would not be able to attend MtMSGs, and once a consensus was reached, the facilitator wrote the barriers on each of the five roots of the tree. After the ‘roots’ of the problem were agreed upon, the women were asked to convey the consequences of not attending MtMSGs. The facilitator then wrote the perceived consequences on the branches of the tree. Each root (barrier) and each branch (perceived consequence) were then discussed by the participants and the facilitator continued to probe the participants more deeply in order to gain a better understanding of why these barriers and perceived consequences exist in the community.
