  • Abstract
    The prospects for the development of facilities that can assist decision authorities in making disciplined logical inferences in case where mathematical or statistical methods cannot be relied upon are considered. Such facilities would provide a technical basis for the most important management decisions, namely those of strategic importance, which are currently the least likely to benefit from any formal discipline
