Abstract

This paper introduces a strategic planning process model tailored for barter and other compensatory arrangements, expanding upon other research on the topic. The model integrates concepts from utility theory, addressing scenarios with multiple potential outcomes, decision makers, and criteria. A cost-benefit analysis framework is employed, utilizing decision tables to evaluate and optimize these complex arrangements. The approach provides a systematic methodology for decision-making in contexts involving multiple variables and stakeholders. [Published circa 1988-1990.]
