3. INTRODUCTION:
Decision making can be regarded as the mental
processes resulting in the selection of a course
of action among several alternatives. Every
decision making process produces a final
choices. The output can be an action or an
opinion of choice.

4. Decision making steps:
There are eight steps of decision making:
 Identification of problem
 Identification of decision criteria
 Allocating weight to criteria
 Develop alternatives
 Analysis of alternatives
 Selection of alternatives
 Implementation of the best alternatives
 Evaluation of decision effectiveness

5. Problem
The decision-making process begins when a manager
identifies the real problem. The accurate definition of
the problem affects all the steps that follow, if the
problem is inaccurately defined, every step in the
decision-making process will be based on an incorrect
starting point. One way that a manager can help
determines the true problem separately from its
symptoms.

6. Step 1: Identification of problem
A problem is defined as a discrepancy between an
existing and a desired state of affairs. Some cautions
about problem identification include the following:
1. Make sure it’s a problem and not just a symptom of a
problem.
2. Problem identification is subjective.
3. Discrepancies can be found by comparing current results
with some standard.
4. Managers are not likely to characterize a discrepancy as a
problem if they perceive that they don’t have the authority,
information, or other resources needed to act on it.
So the problem we are not identifying is to get a job in a school
with maximum salary and benefits.

7. Step 2: Identification of Decision Criteria
Decision criteria are factors that are important to
resolving the problem:
So the factors which are relevant in solving our
problems are:
1. Salary
2. Opportunity to progress
3. Job Environment
4. Incentives
5. Facilities
6. Job securities
7. Location
8. Timings

8. Step 3: Allocation of Weight to criteria
Step 3 is allocate weights to the criteria. The
criteria identified in Step 2 of the decision
making process are not all equally important, So
the decision maker must weight the items in
order to give them correct priority in the
decision.

9. Step 4: Development of Alternatives
Identifying viable alternatives:
Alternatives are listed that can resolve the problem:
Name of schools
1) Unique
2) American Lycetuff
3) LDA
4) Allied
5) Cathedral

10. Step 5: Analysis of Alternatives
Appraising each alternative’s strengths and weaknesses:
Evaluating using Decision Criteria and Evaluating Weighted Criteria
