Where curve DD lies below the horizontal axis, there is a net disadvantage for the corresponding pattern. Where DD lies above the horizontal, there is a net advantage. Obviously, where the entire set of hypotheses underlying he curves of Figure 10 is accepted, the optimal degree of spatial centralization would correspond to that point at which curve DD reaches a maximum. The curves of Figure 10, and the discussion thus far, relate to decision making on a representative concrete issue (or set of concrete issues) when it is hypothesized that only one, well- defined state of the environment can occur. It is now appro- priate to relax this restriction and permit the occurrence of several states of the environment. Elsewhere, ISARD and Tune have extended the simple example cited above so that the occurrence of each of three states of the environment is possible (**). These states have reference to the international situation and were designated: I) good will, 2) usual, and 3) extremely tense, as indicated at the head of the columns of table 3. In this example, only overview advantage was permitted to vary with the state of environment for the specific set of assumptions which was adopted. The resulting figures for the case examined are re- corded in table 3. In net form, these figures constitute the elements of the payoff matrix of table 4. It is immediately seen that there is no one pattern of spatial decentralization which can be designated optimal. In the light of modern decision- making theory it becomes necessary to introduce still another assumption which pertains to the attitude of the decision- making individual or group (%).
