Abstract

The paper considers the background and the main stages in the development of the decision theory as a scientific discipline which is principally significant for the evolution of the modern civilization. We show that the development of tools of the decision theory (depending on tasks and interpretation of methods and versions of their decision) makes possible to solve problems concerning decision making under uncertainty and risk, to develop principles of arrangement of activities of decision-makers, to work out practical advices for executive bodies, and to use technical aids and automated control systems.
