Features: This book first introduces the concepts of decision-making and decision-making systems. Then, it takes the four stages of the decision-making process—intelligence activities, design activities, evaluation and choice activities, and implementation activities—as the main thread and context to study and discuss the basic logical thinking and intuitive-imaginal thinking-based decision-making methods used in these activities, such as benchmarking methods, modeling methods, heuristic methods, etc. The systematic discussion of decision-making methodologies required by the uniqueness of the management decision-making system, as well as the discussion of the intuitive thinking methods embedded within it, are the innovations of this book. This book can serve as a textbook for postgraduate and undergraduate students in relevant courses, as well as a reference book for decision-making researchers and practitioners in a wide range of fields.
