This document discusses decision making in organizations. It outlines that managers at all levels must make decisions, from goals and facilities for top managers to production schedules and employee issues for middle and lower managers. The steps of decision making are identified as: identifying the problem, considering factors, adding weights, identifying alternatives, analyzing alternatives, choosing, implementing, and evaluating. Decision making can involve both structured problems with programmed solutions, and unstructured problems requiring non-programmed decisions. Common decision making errors that can occur include overconfidence bias, anchoring effect, confirmation bias, and hindsight bias.
Decision making is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions. Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help you make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organizing relevant information and defining alternatives.

Chapter Two
Decision Making
Decision Making: is defined as the process of selecting or choosing the best course of action from numbers of alternatives based on the criteria. Because managers are continually confronted with opportunities and problems, they must constantly analyze the effect of different decisions on their organizations and select the alternative that will move the firm toward its stated objectives.
Types of Decisions: Several authors believe that there are two types of decisions: programmed & non-programmed decisions.
A. Programmed decisions: These decisions are "programmable" because of a specific procedure can be worked out to resolve them based on experience in similar situations.
• Once a standard procedure has been established, it can be used to treat all like situations.
• They usually involve an organization's every day operational and administrative activities
• They are primarily found at the middle and lower levels of management.
• Data used in making a programmed decision usually are complete and well defined.
• Participants know the details and agree on how to resolve the problem.
B. Non-programmed Decisions: are used to solve nonrecurring problems/Non-Repetitive problems.
• No well-established procedure exists for handling them, primarily because managers do not have experience to draw upon.
• In contrast to programmed decisions, available data are usually incomplete.
• Non programmable decisions are commonly found at the middle and top levels of management and often is related to an organization's policy-making activities such as whether to add a product to the existing product line, to reorganize the company, or to acquire another firm, are examples
The steps in decision making process include the following:
1. Ascertain the need for a decision/Identify the problem:
The decision making process begins by determining a problem exists; that is, there is an unsatisfactory condition.
2. Establish decision criteria:
Once the need for a decision has been determined, there comes a need to establish decision criteria which requires identifying those characteristics that are important in making the decision.
3. Allocate weights to criteria
The identified criteria should be weighted based on their importance and arranged in priority. This is because some are obviously more important than others and we need to weight each criterion to reflect its importance in the decision.
4. Develop Alternatives
This involves developing a list of the alternative that may be viable in dealing with the stated problem.
5. Evaluate Alternatives
Once the alternatives are enumerated. The decision maker must critically evaluate each one and identify the strong and weak points when compared against the criteria and the weights established. In evaluating each alternative, we not only consider things that can be measured in numerical terms such as time and various types of fixed & operating costs,

2. Decision Making:
Managers at all levels and in all areas of organizations make
decisions.
Top level managers – Goals, Location of manufacturing facility,
new markets etc.
Middle level and lower level – production schedules, product
quality problems, pay rises and employee discipline etc.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
3. Decision Making:
Making a choice from two or more alternatives.
For every action, decision making helps us to choose the best
solution.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
5. Decision making steps:
Step1: Identifying the problem or fixing to the requirement.
Step2: Consider the factors to resolve problem (e.g. costs, features).
Step3: Adding importance / weights to each criteria.
Step4: Identify viable alternatives.
Step5: Analyze the alternatives.
Step6: Choosing all the alternates.
Step7: Implementation of alternatives.
Step8: Evaluation.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
6. Decision in management functions:
We believe that the decisions taken by managers are rational.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
7. Decision making:
Bounded rationality:
Managers make decisions rationally, but are limited (bounded) by
their ability to process information.
Managers satisfies rather than maximize.
Escalation of commitment:
Increased commitment to a previous decision despite evidence that
it may go wrong.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
8. Decision making:
Role of intuition:
Taking a decision on the basis of experience, feelings and
accumulated judgment.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
9. Types of problems and decisions:
1. Structured problems and programmed decisions.
e.g. for programmed decisions: Policy, procedure, rule.
2. Unstructured problems and non – programmed decisions.
e.g. for non – programmed decisions: expel / change the employee.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
13. Common decision making errors:
1. Overconfidence Bias
Holding unrealistically positive views of one’s self and one’s
performance.
2. Immediate Gratification Bias
Choosing alternatives that offer immediate rewards.
3. Anchoring Effect
Fixating on initial information and ignoring subsequent
information.
4. Selective observation Bias
Selecting, organizing and interpreting events based on the
decision maker’s biased perceptions.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
14. Common decision making errors:
5. Confirmation Bias
Seeking out information that reaffirms past choices and
discounting contradictory information.
6. Framing Bias
Selecting and highlighting certain aspects of a situation
while ignoring other aspects.
7. Availability Bias
Losing decision-making objectivity by focusing on the most
recent events.
8. Representation Bias
Drawing likeness and seeing identical situations when none
exist.
R.ArunKumar,AP/Mech,RIT
15. Common decision making errors:
9. Randomness Bias
Creating unfounded meaning out of random events.
10.Sunk Costs Errors
Forgetting that current actions cannot influence past events
and relate only to future consequences.
11. Self-Serving Bias
Taking quick credit for successes and blaming outside
factors for failures.
12. Hindsight Bias
Mistakenly believing that an event could have been predicted
once the actual outcome is known (after-the-fact)
