The ability to make effective decisions, to design comprehensible decision processes and to understand and manage risk is crucial for managers of all sectors. This course covers the most important decision areas for managers in the private and public sector: deciding on a future strategy for their organization; allocating scarce resources in different (business) units or policy areas; making trade-offs between financial/ economic, ecologic and social objectives; transparently selecting contractors/partners; considering health or environmental risks.
