HM 6025 - Decision Models


This course explores integration of Humanistic Principles as the guiding construct for applying cognitive science, statistical and economic methods to apply operational data to make decisions that impact organizational community strategy and performance. Students explore the different types of factors that distort operational decision-making. Students learn to recognize these potential problems to assess opportunities and develop solutions. They also learn to apply statistical and microeconomic models to evaluate their options critically when multiple courses of action are possible.

Finally, managers also learn the importance of non-financial performance measures that use operating data to align organizational strategies and effectiveness to maximize the potential for achieving the triple bottom line:  Financial, Social, and Environmental Return-On-Investments (ROI). Ethical issues related to financial management practices will be threaded throughout the learning activities for this course consistent with Humanistic Management principles and practices.
