| Abstract: | Many business decisions involve issues that are not amenable to
quantitative measures and analysis. One such domain of decisions is
large-scale investments in information technology. Traditional capital
budgeting methods have not proven effective. In this paper, we present
an alternative paradigm for qualitative decision analysis, embodied in
the artificial intelligence program: VOTE. We describe the technology
investment domain in general, and how VOTE models goals and agents in
this domain. We apply the VOTE model to a specific decision taken from
a. study of a major information technology investment decision. |
