WHY DO WE NEED DECISION-MAKING MODELS?
When we encounter chaos, we seek ways to structure it, to see through it, or at least to gain an overview of it. Models help us to reduce the
complexity of a situation by enabling us to suppress most of it and concentrate on what is important. Critics like to point out that models do not
reflect reality. That is true, but it is wrong to claim that they compel us to think in a prescribed way. Models do not define what or how we should
think; they are the result of an active thought process.
