Rating your attributes
When doing the steps in class how we would rate the attributes that we found most compelling from the value tree there were a few things I learned/questioned. First, is every one's value tree going to be the same, even if you are working as a group? To this I thought well if you are working in a group, many may have the same idea but sometimes there are those who feel what they thought it better than they will fight their opinion until it is heard. Still does everyone have the same opinion? Second, When you are rating how important that aspect is, are you able to make your own decision on how important you feel an attribute is. I think depending on which department that you work in will determine how important each attribute is. If all you do is sit at a desk in the office and work on paper work then you would value comfort more than closeness to customers. Each group of workers will probably value the attributes a little differently, if not a lot different. So to actually do this homework that we were given will I think show how each of us think differently.

Like we discussed in class, I believe that direct ratings in a group setting would be a bit more difficult to come to a conclusion are. For value functions, it is easier to quantify a rating and will be more unanimous in decision. But like you said, for direct ratings, somethings value is in the eye of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteI think that, like everything else that happens when working in a group, in making a value tree, someone is going to compromise, at least for a little bit. It goes along with something that one of my professors tells us quite frequently, that it's not a science, it's an art. I think that this works the same way when you are ranking the items to determine which option is the most "attractive."
