Abstract
This paper proposes a formal descriptive model of organizational decision-making called the Managerial Decision-Making Description Model (MDDM). This model introduces visual representations to describe managerial decisions that redefine relationships between their objectives and resources. The MDDM describes various business cases and enables us to compare these decision-making processes. This paper presents the MDDM’s methodologies and describes, and compares, the decision diagrams extracted from actual business cases and organizational agent-based simulation (ABS) logs as virtual business cases.
