Abstract

In this chapter, our main objective is to analyse the decision process and point out its ten major parameters. We begin by briefly introducing these parameters before classifying non-trivial decision problems according to their difficulty. The most difficult problems are classified as challenging, while easy problems are classified as routine problems . We then present a comprehensive and detailed anatomy of the decision process. Finally, the decision process is summarised in a diagram and formulated as a mathematical model.
