Decision-makers must make a suitable sequence of decisions under uncertainty in a relatively long period for particular projects and situations. Conventional decision-making approaches under uncertainty are based on expected utility theory and do not sufficiently reflect the one-time nature of decisions. Similarly, the conventional approaches do not adequately incorporate the decision-maker’s intuitions in the decision-analysis…
