The skills for success in these environments include knowing how to formulate the right questions to ask, how to identify the information that is valuable for answering those questions, understanding how to process incoming information to distinguish signal from noise, and how to use that information to put structure to uncertain environments so that one can take good calculated risks. This collective set of skills are at the heart of "decision analysis", which is a structured rational approach to making decisions under uncertainty. ### requirements text (R M I 300or graduate/professional standing) and (GEN BUS 306,704,705,ECON 310,MATH/​STAT  309,431, orMATH 331), or declared in the Business Exchange program ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 9f050fa2724c345d9bd78c60ef20f8ae75b6aa9ce59e250def0996d712553ad6 ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary RMI 660 teaches decision analysis skills for navigating business uncertainty, including formulating questions, identifying valuable information, and taking calculated risks. ### llm topics * Risk management * Decision analysis * Uncertainty ### llm skills * Formulating questions and identifying valuable information * Processing information to distinguish signal from noise * Structuring uncertain environments for calculated risks * Structured rational decision-making under uncertainty ### llm assumed background * Undergraduate business fundamentals, probability, and statistics * Graduate/professional standing or specific graduate courses ### llm search phrases * risk analytics * behavioral science * decision analysis * uncertainty * RMI 660 ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status valid ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash f69e07824416e3c2f409f1b0d16987f3da9e5722fe4f8de8abd38374d2bb3ec4 #### course id RMI 660 #### current instructors None recorded. #### difficulty workload Historical reviews of Justin Sydnor: The course includes four difficult Excel-based homework assignments and four online, open-book exams.
