Decision making is selecting a
course of action from among available
alternatives: 1) Process of analyzing critical
data to determine the best decision, 2) We
do not always select the best choice when
faced with alternatives, 3) Need a rational,
systematic, and effective approach for
deciding on a course of action, and 4)
Organization has limited resources (i.e.,
number of employees, time, money, etc.)
and those limits require managers and
supervisors to make choices.
Moreover, a problem exists when
there is a gap between what you expect to
happen and what actually happens.
Problems must be resolved for
organizations to function properly.
Supervisors must be aware of current
situations to recognize whether a problem
exists.
