Exhibit 6–1 The Decision-Making Process Copyright
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–6
7.
Step 1: Identifying
the Problem • Problem A discrepancy between an existing and desired state of affairs. • Characteristics of Problems A problem becomes a problem when a manager becomes aware of it. There is pressure to solve the problem. The manager must have the authority, information, or resources needed to solve the problem. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–7
8.
Step 2: Identifying
Decision Criteria • Decision criteria are factors that are important (relevant) to resolving the problem such as: Costs that will be incurred (investments required) Risks likely to be encountered (chance of failure) Outcomes that are desired (growth of the firm) Step 3: Allocating Weights to the Criteria • Decision criteria are not of equal importance: Assigning a weight to each item places the items in the correct priority order of their importance in the decision-making process. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–8

and Weights for Computer Replacement Decision Criterion Weight Memory and Storage 10 Battery life 8 Carrying Weight 6 Warranty 4 Display Quality 3 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–9
10.
Step 4: Developing
Alternatives • Identifying viable alternatives Alternatives are listed (without evaluation) that can resolve the problem. Step 5: Analyzing Alternatives • Appraising each alternative’s strengths and weaknesses An alternative’s appraisal is based on its ability to resolve the issues identified in steps 2 and 3. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–10

14.
Step 8: Evaluating
the Decision’s Effectiveness • The soundness of the decision is judged by its outcomes. How effectively was the problem resolved by outcomes resulting from the chosen alternatives? If the problem was not resolved, what went wrong? Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–14
15.
Exhibit 6–5 Decisions
in the Management Functions Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–15
16.
Making Decisions • Rationality
Managers make consistent, value-maximizing choices with specified constraints. Assumptions are that decision makers: Are perfectly rational, fully objective, and logical. Have carefully defined the problem and identified all viable alternatives. Have a clear and specific goal Will select the alternative that maximizes outcomes in the organization’s interests rather than in their personal interests. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–16
17.
Making Decisions (cont’d) •
Bounded Rationality Managers make decisions rationally, but are limited (bounded) by their ability to process information. Assumptions are that decision makers: Will not seek out or have knowledge of all alternatives Will satisfice—choose the first alternative encountered that satisfactorily solves the problem—rather than maximize the outcome of their decision by considering all alternatives and choosing the best. Influence on decision making Escalation of commitment: an increased commitment to a previous decision despite evidence that it may have been Copyright wrong. Pearson Education, Inc. © 2010 Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–17
18.
Types of Problems
and Decisions • Structured Problems Involve goals that are clear. Are familiar (have occurred before). Are easily and completely defined—information about the problem is available and complete. • Programmed Decision A repetitive decision that can be handled by a routine approach. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–18
19.
Types of Programmed
Decisions • Procedure A series of interrelated steps that a manager can use to respond (applying a policy) to a structured problem. • Rule An explicit statement that limits what a manager or employee can or cannot do. • Policy A general guideline for making a decision about a structured problem. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6–19
