This tool is also useful for making other types of personal decisions (should I have knee surgery?) and business decisions (should I invest in a risky business?) (Seidel) . Decision tree analysis is a tree-like schematic diagram used to determine the necessary course of action or next best solution. Each branch of the analysis represents a possible decision or outcome. The tree is designed to demonstrate how and why one decision can lead to the next, with the use of branches demonstrating that each option is fundamentally unrelated. This concept is used to simplify and find an answer to the complex problem. The framework allows negotiators to approach a problem with multiple possible approaches and view it in a direct and simple format that shows the relationship between different decisions and outcomes where the most distant branches of the tree represent the final outcomes
