Decision making can be described as a process of making a decision or decisions, based on choices made amongst two or more competing course of actions. The ‘Decision making’ also requires making a define choice between two or more alternatives course of actions that are available. In every decision making, there is said to be a positive and negative outcome as future consequence(s). The importance of decision making in individual daily life and in organization level was demonstrated by two scientists, Arkes and Hammond (1992), in ‘Judgment and Decision making’ indentified the four types of information which decision maker requires constructing a decision tree. 1. What are the available courses of action(s)? 2. What are the consequence events that might follow from the identified available actions? 3. What is the likelihood of each event? 4. What is the value of each outcome to the decision maker? Henceforth, in i965, An American Psychologist Herbert Simon also established the essence of why a decision making is indisposed and required to be made. He identified and claimed that there are three essential elements or stages in the decision making process, which are: 1. The Intelligence Activity. 2. The design Activity. 3. The Choice activity. The Intelligence Activity; is also refer to as the ‘Search activity’, which includes fact findings, problem and opportunity sensing, analysis and exploration of available course of actions. If there is no identified need to make a decision, then it is said to be no decision making is required. The Design Activity: Involved formulation of solutions and generation of alternative course of action(s), finding and analyzing the possible courses of action(s).

Non routine decision is often required to deal with complex decision, which are made at above manager levels, perhaps on a board room level. Such decisions often had a long-time impact on organization. The Rational decision models amongst other several decision making models are developed with the aim to have systematic approaches to solving problems and reaching/ making an informed decisions to problems.

A decision is a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration. Everyday, people run into difficult decisions. The choices you make in your life define you as a person. In choice to kill his best friend, in the short story “Honor” The Servant has to choose what lengths he is willing to go to bury his son himself, and in another short story “ Gentlemen, Your Verdict” the commander lieutenant Oram has to make the best decision is when they are faced with a sinking ship and little oxygen left.
The rational decision theory is a method for thoroughly selecting among possible choices that are built on reasoning and facts. With a decision, making process one may employ a series of logical steps to overview relevant facts, observations, and potential outcomes before choosing a specific course of action.
The four simple steps taught me how. Making decisions will be significantly easier if I utilize the DDM. I know that the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model will be beneficial to me even as I grow older and I am grateful that I have learned such a useful tool to implement in my life. D.A.R.E. has taught me useful techniques, tips, and strategies that will undoubtedly impact my actions in the future.
Design thinking process has eight generation stages: observation or analysis, framework, imperative or facts, solutions or alternatives, alternative evaluation and concept selection, implementation, construction, and post occupancy evaluation.
The following is a decision-making model that I have used to arrive at a decision.
The three primary types of decision-making systems are: the transactional support system, the management information system, and the decisions support system (FreeTutes.com, 2014).
...s go about making judgments and choices. Both theories play an intrinsic role with behavioral decision making and have proven to be successful approaches for management (Shanteau, 2001).
Individuals make economic decision based on a variety of reasons. The rational is based on each individual’s need or desire for a commodity. People go through several decision-making processes before making the final decision and are often not conscious of the process. Obviously, decision- making covers a wide area, involving virtually the whole of human action. Often people are not conscious of the process.
The journey of my decision analysis learning process has been a roller coaster ride. While I enjoyed reading, understanding and learning about the various methodology and aspects of decision analysis, I also find myself stressed, frustrated and ready to give up. For me, the concept about what is decision analysis, the utility of decision analysis, and the topics on decision bias, ethics, complexity and controversy of decision analysis make sense to me as I understood what they are and how they can impact a decision making process. Quantitatively, while I enjoy experimenting and learning the R, Rattle and Excel Decision Tree Plan, statistically, I am frustrated as I am unable to come up with the correct answers when it comes to the quantitative models and calculations such as the probability matrices, binomials, conditional probability, and Markov modeling. Learning the functionalities and seeing an outcome from the R software and knowing what an excel can do to a set of data is intriguing yet exciting to me,
An employee does an unsatisfactory job on an assigned project. Explain the attribution process that this person's manager will use to form judgments about this employee's job performance.
Now the good choices come with their consequences too! They can mostly be perceived positive. Making good choices leads to a boost of confidence, gives rise positive behaviour & thinking and rewards you for the hard the hard work which you’ve put in. But, we many a times forget about the good choices we’ve made and rather focus more on the bad ones which may result in rather depressing situations where you’d lose you self-confidence and would not be able to make rational decisions. “If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment, why not accept the fact that a good choice yields a desirable fruit?”
Making decisions is an important part of our everyday life. Decisions define actions and lead to the achievement of goals. However, these depend on the effectiveness of the decision-making process. An effective decision is free from biases, uncertainties, and is deeply dependent on information and critical thinking. Poor decisions lead to the inability to achieve set objectives and could lead to losses, if finance is a factor. Therefore, it is important to contemplate about quality and ways to achieve it in decision-making, which is the focus of this paper. The purpose is to look into the needs of decision-making, including what one should do and what one should not do.
Rational decision making is one of the most common problem solving methods and can be used to solve almost all problems. Rational decision making and problem solving processes can be explained in a logical manner. Effective leaders use rational decision making processes to identify the problem, think up solutions, evaluate alternatives along with select a solution, implement and evaluate the final solution. In rational decision making leaders analyze the problem to achieve the most efficient choice through different possible alternatives from different scenarios before making a selection.
As previously mentioned, there are various decision making concepts that enable an individual to become a better decision maker in his/her daily life. One of these concepts that resonate with me as a decision maker is the WRAP model. WRAP model is a major concept because it enables a person to make his/her decisions through intentional illumination of strategic spots or points of consideration (Heath & Heath, 2013, p.24). In this case, the decision is not made on the basis of what ordinarily comes to a person’s attention but through examining hidden corners or facts. WRAP model basically involves widening options, reality-test of assumptions, attaining distance before deciding, and preparing to be wrong.
In this picture, David Easton tried to give an understanding how the decision is made. The process start from the input which input is coming from environment, and through demands and support, the input get into the political system. In the political system, the input is preparing to
