The rational model is the first attempt to know the decision-making process.
As per the rational decision-making model, the decision-maker has full or perfect information about alternatives and he devotes sufficient time to understand the situation and make decisions.
A rational decision-making model is a multi-step process for making choices between various alternatives. The process of rational decision-making favors logic, objectivity, & analysis over subjectivity and insight.

Decisions in businesses are often neither well thought out, appropriate or well executed. This pack looks at some of the aspects of making effective strategic decisions
When a leader decides to launch a major project that is sure to attract public scrutiny, such as opening a new amusement park or building a new international airport, the result is often far from what was promised in the original press release. The resulting debacle often draws a great deal of attention to the decision maker. Paul C. Nutt reveals why such debacles happen.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Enriching engagement with ethical review processesstrikingabalance
New ethics review processes at the University of Bath. Presented at the 8th World Conference on Research Integrity by Filipa Vance, Head of Research Governance and Compliance at the University of Bath. June 2024, Athens
This lecture explores the nature of managerial decision making, including types of problems and decision-making situations managers can face. Managers as decision makers are evaluated and the steps in an effective decision-making process are considered.
Further discussion can be found on page 132.

Most first-line and many middle managers’ decisions are programmed, whereas top-level managers face few programmed decisions.
See Figure 5.2 in text, page 134.
Further discussion can be found on pages 133-134.
The rational model assumes that managers have all relevant information, all necessary time and make decisions in the best interests of the organisation – this is unrealistic but serves a reference point for actual decision-making behaviour.
The non-rational model examines the behaviour and motivation of managers in making non-optimal decisions.
Further discussion can be found on pages 135-136.

While managers control few factors affecting decision success, they do control the process used to make decisions. Experts suggest that decisions will be more effective, with a greater likelihood of success, if the steps in Table 5.2 (see text page 137) are followed.
Further discussion can be found on pages 136-140.
Pages 136-137
As the non-rational model suggests, managers rarely follow the four step model. In addition to this problem, there are barriers to effective decision making, namely the four basic coping patterns that affect behaviour when facing a problem.
Further discussion can be found on pages 140-141.

Biases not only affect a decision maker’s evaluation of alternatives but also influence the process of identifying problems and alternative solutions.

Major organisational decisions are normally made by groups to gain from diverse outlooks. Such an approach has both advantages and disadvantages.
Further discussion can be found on pages 146-147.
Groupthink describes the tendency that cohesive groups have to seek agreement about an issue before assessing the situation realistically. According to groupthink theory, members avoid causing disagreements or giving information that might unsettle discussion because they do not want to disturb the cohesion of the group.
Further discussion can be found on page 146.
Page 147
Ideally managers should seek to avoid the pitfalls of group decision making and to enhance the benefits by creating critical discussion and encouraging collaboration.

Creativity is crucial to problem solving which yields organisational innovations.
Further discussion can be found on page 149.
The solving of many problems that require a creative solution requires the use of both convergent and divergent thinking.
Convergent thinking helps define a problem and evaluate possible solutions.
Divergent thinking helps develop alternate views of the problem and seek new ways to manage them.
Further discussion can be found on page 149.
Pages 150-152

Other ways of enhancing group creativity are: the Delphi method and scenario analysis (See Chapter 5, Supplement, page 166.)
