Data Analysis and Decision Modeling

17. Deviational variables a. are added to constraints to indicate acceptable departures from the target vagues of their corresponding goals b. are negative c. are positive for underachievement only d. are positive for overachievement only 18. Goal programming (GP) is typically a. a minimization problem of the sum of weighted percentage deviations b. a maximization problem of positive deviations only c. a minimization problem of negative deviations only d. a maximization problem of continuous goals 19. The "triple bottom line" incorporates multiple objective decision-making by: a simultaneously considering profit, people and planet b. environmental issues only c. financial objectives only d. wealth redistribution in the society 20. Suppose that environmental and human variables are assigned the weight of zero. Then the "triple bottom line" approach reduces to: a. profit maximization b. environmental issues c. HR objectives d. achieving social equilibrium
