Message from Program Chair Marc Schniederjans

Everyone makes decisions. Members of the Decision Science Institute (DSI) approach decision making as a science. Our domain of application is not limited to a particular type of institution, industry, functional area, or discipline, but is all inclusive of decision making in general. One of our goals is to advance the field of decision sciences within all disciplines where decision making is applicable. To support that goal we sponsor an annual meeting for DSI members and those interested in our fields of inquiry.
