Abstract

Explores the concept of uncertainty in marketing decision making. Offers a structure of a decision dilemma with advice on how to evaluate possible scenarios arising from it. Examines the significance of probability, demonstrating the combination of probability and economic consequences into a comparison between two courses of action, risky and conservative. Argues that such an approach is preferable to hesitating due to fear of uncertainty.
