The thought process of selecting a logical choice from the
available options. When trying to make a good decision, a
person must weight the positives and negatives of each
option, and consider all the alternatives.
Decision-making is the selection based on some criteria from
two or more possible alternatives. “-—George R.Terry
A decision can be defined as a course of action consciously
chosen from available alternatives for the purpose of desired
result —J.L. Massie
A decision is an act of choice, wherein an executive forms a
conclusion about what must be done in a given situation. A
decision represents a course of behavior chosen from a
number of possible alternatives. -—D.E. Mc. Farland
EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING
Decisions need to be capable of being implemented, whether
on a personal or organizational level. You do, therefore, need
to be committed to the decision personally, and be able to
persuade others of its merits.
1. Identify the decision: The first step in making
the right decision is recognizing the problem or
opportunity and deciding to address it. Determine why
this decision will make a difference to your customers or
fellow employees.
2. Gather information:Next, it’s time to gather
information so that you can make a decision based on facts
and data. This requires making a value judgment, determining
what information is relevant to the decision at hand, along
with how you can get it. Ask yourself what you need to know
in order to make the right decision, then actively seek out
anyone who needs to be involved.
3. Identify alternatives: Once you have a clear
understanding of the issue, it’s time to identify the various
solutions at your disposal. It’s likely that you have many
different options when it comes to making your decision, so it
is important to come up with a range of options. This helps
you determine which course of action is the best way to
achieve your objective.
4. Weigh the evidence: In this step, you’ll need to
“evaluate for feasibility, acceptability and desirability” to
know which alternative is best, according to management
experts Phil Higson and Anthony Sturgess. Managers need to
be able to weigh pros and cons, then select the option that has
the highest chances of success. It may be helpful to seek out a
trusted second opinion to gain a new perspective on the issue
at hand.
5. Choose among alternatives:When it’s time to
make your decision, be sure that you understand the risks
involved with your chosen route. You may also choose a
combination of alternatives now that you fully grasp all
relevant information and potential risks.
6. Take action: Next, you’ll need to create a plan for
implementation. This involves identifying what resources are
required and gaining support from employees and
stakeholders. Getting others onboard with your decision is a
key component of executing your plan effectively, so be
prepared to address any questions or concerns that may arise.
7. Review your decision: An often-overlooked but
important step in the decision making process is evaluating
your decision for effectiveness. Ask yourself what you did
well and what can be improved next time.
ANALYTICAL
• Managers using analytic decision making style would like to have more
information and consider more alternatives before coming to a conclusion.
• They seek relevant information from their sources and consider factual and
detailed information before taking any decision. Such managers are careful
decision makers as they have the ability to adapt or cope with unique situations.
DIRECTIVE OR AUTOCRATIC
• Managers who follow this style assess few alternatives and consider limited
information while taking any decision.
• They do not find it important to consult with others or seek information in any
form and use their logic and idea while taking decisions.
BEHAVIORAL
• Leaders who follow this model believe in participative management and consider
the achievement of subordinates and always take suggestions from them.
• They try to get inputs from subordinates through meetings and discussions. They
try to avoid/resolve conflicts as acceptance by others is important to them.
CONCEPTUAL
• Managers using conceptual decision making style are intuitive in their thinking
and have high tolerance for ambiguity.
• They look at many alternatives and focus on long run outcomes.
