Problem 2:The PDC is a government agency tasked with supporting the development of the Oman economy. One of PDC`s key strategies is to support the diversification of the economy away from a reliance on oil. One of the initiatives under considerations is the construction of a new business complex. The complex will be located near the international airport and will consist of a number of purpose built business units. PDC is also expected to maximize the financial return on the project. However, PDC is facing some uncertainty particularly in relation to the expected demand for units in the complex. PDC president gave two possible chance event outcomes: a strong demand and a weak demand.
S1 = strong demand for the units
S2 = weak demand for the units
As a result of this uncertainty, PDC has commissioned three alternative plans for the complex:
D1 = to build a small complex of 30 business units
D2= to build a medium sized complex of 60 units
D3=to build a large complex of 90 units.
| State of nature | ||
| Decision Alternative | Strong Demand S1 | Weak Demand S2 |
| Small complex,D1 | 8 | 7 |
| Medium Complex,D2 | 14 | 5 |
| Large Complex,D3 | 20 | -9 |
