Abstract

This article deals with the application of the utility theory as a useful tool for the decision making process analysis under risk. While the theoretical value of the concept is clear, its application in practice is not easy. In addition to frequent skepticism common among managers, certain measurement issues have to be overcome in order to obtain relevant results. This article aims to use the example of a metallurgical enterprise to apply the theory for use in practice.

Keywords: utility theory, managerial decision making, decision making under risk
