Utilizing Cost Benefit Analysis to Select the Best SolutionTechnology is often used to help address problems or improvement opportunities in many businesses. In order to help a business in this process, one looks for multiple alternatives to understand what options are available before reaching any conclusions. It is important to do this research, and base the final decision on the available alternatives.Every business has its particular goals, work practices, budgeting criteria, and many other factors that need to be identified when trying to guide the selection of alternatives through the cost benefit analysis. Once the alternaitves are identified, these need to be compared, based on the decision criteria of the business. Imagine if the most important criteria (attribute) is budget, and money matters, the ranking of your choice will be completely different than when the top criteria (attribute) is good environmental choices. Based on the different criteria you would rank solutions differently, that is why this part of the analysis is so important.To make this process even more complex, benefits and costs can be either tangible or intangible. Sometimes we might not know in dollar value what a benefit to the environment really is when implementing a solution, but the benefit is undoubtedly there, so it needs to be taken into consideration. This is an intangible benefit, much like customer satisfaction, for example, a very important benefit to many businesses. Other cost examples, like the cost of internet usage, are tangible, they can be looked up or estimated fairly easily based on pricing from various providers.Select your own example or use one listed below.
