Within Question 2 you should select a clearly defined decision problem involving multiple objectives. This decision problem could relate to your work or a personal decision. However, the outlined decision problem should have a clear business context or application. Alternatively, the outlined decision problem could relate to a decision faced by an external organisation. The presented decision problem should be clearly presented and where appropriate supporting sources and references should be provided.
The decision problem should be of adequate detail in order to support the analysis. The decision problem should involve multiple objectives and it is suggested that the decision problem consist, as a minimum, of at least 5 options (alternatives) and 5 attributes. The context and features of the decision problem should then be discussed.
Following a discussion of the decision problem, a SMART decision analysis should be applied. Within your answer to Question 3 you are required to outline and discuss the various stages and outputs of the analysis. Do not undertake Sensitivity Analysis but rather discuss this aspect of the SMART technique in general.
Finally within Question 4 you should discuss, with the support of appropriate sources, the strengths and limitations of the analysis.
