Definition
Decision calculus models are quantitative models of a process that are calibrated by examining subjective judgments about outcomes of the process (e.g., market share or sales of a firm) under a variety of hypothetical scenarios (e.g., advertising spending level, promotion expenditures).
Once the model linking process outcomes to marketing decision variables has been calibrated, it is possible to derive an optimal marketing recommendation.
