Analysis State of the Art Surveys can give you a feel for the lay of the land.
Personally, I am reading French, Maule and Papamichail and Stewart and Belton before I jump into a state of the art survey. The former is a broad introduction to decision support the latter a an introduction to MCDA. My plan is to move on to state of the art level stuff by next year.
I don't think it is necessary, but it highly recommend you at least skim through an intro to operations research. Here is a youtube playlist that briefly covers most of the topics you would find in an intro to OR book. You can also look at any of the texts the man in the videos recommends. At university we used Winston's. The benefit would be that you can get an overview of the various methods used in prescriptive analytics. In Winston's book you can also get single chapter introductions to mathematics of decision making under uncertainty, game theory and goal programming (one approach to MCDA).
