IS6053:Decision Making and Decision Support Systems The objective of the individual assignment is to study the many trade-offs inherent in the management of the COVID pandemic, including the vaccination programmes currently underway and to explain how governments and health authorities can move beyond these trade-offs. Part of the assignment is to clearly explain what measures of success can be used in situation where the public good cannot readily be captured in a consensual manner. The good assignments will avoid polemic arguments and concentrate on how decision makers can go beyond trivial ideas and both (1) undertake positive and progressive action and (2) develop communication strategies that convince large portions of public opinion.
