DECISION MAKING • A moment, in an ongoing process of choosing the preferred objective, evaluating alternatives for meeting an objective, at which expectation about a particular course of action impel the decision maker to select that course of action most likely to result in attaining the objective (Harrison, 1999:5)
DECISION MAKING • Acts of choice between alternative courses of action designed to produce a specified result, and one made on a review of relevant information guided by explicit criteria (Harrison, 1999:5)
DECISION MAKING • A concious and human process, involving both individual and social phenomena, based upon factual and value premises, which includes a choice of one behavioral activity from one or more alternatives with the intention of moving towards some desiredstate of affairs (Shull et al, 2003:6)
DECISION ELEMENTS • DECISION (MAKING) BOARDS • PROBLEM(S) • DECISION OBJECTIVE(S) • CHOICES (DECISION ALTERNATIVES) • CRITERIA • UNCONTROLLABLE FACTORS • DECISION PROCESS • CHOOSEN DECISION • DECISION CONSEQUENCES
BOUNDED RATIONALITY A concept used to describe the ways in which people’s capacity to process large amounts of data is limited. Sometimes called ‘limited rationality’ or subjective rationality
Rational Theory of Choice • Within rational processes, choice depends on what alternatives are considered and on two guesses about the future: • The first guess is a guess about future states of the world, conditional on the choice • The second guess is a guess about how the decision maker will feel about that future world when it is experienced
Rational Theory of Choice • Some versions of rational choice theory assume that all decision makers share a common set of (basic) preferences, that alternatives and their consequences are defined by the environment, and that decision makers have perfect knowledge of those alternatives and their consequences
Rational Theory of Choice • Other versions recognize greater inter-actor subjectivity but nevertheless assume perfect knowledge for any particular decision—that all alternatives are known with certainty, and that all preferences relevant to the choice are known, precise, consistent, and stable.
Prospect Theory • Prospect theory assumes that risky choices are made in two phases: editing and evaluation • In the editing phase a mental model of the decision situation is formed • In the evaluation phase the value of the outcomes is assessed on the basis of a value function and a weighting function, and a choice is made.
The Six Steps in Decision Theory • Clearly define the objective (and the problem). • List the possible alternatives. • Identify the possible outcomes. • List the payoff or profit of each combination of alternatives and outcomes. • Select one of the mathematical decision theory models. • Apply the model and make your decision. 3-12
Theories of Attention and Search • Ideas that emphasize the importance of attention are found throughout the social and behavioral sciences • In psychology, the rationing of attention is central to notions of editing, framing, and problem solving “set” • In political science, it is central to the notion of agendas
Theories of Attention and Search • In sociology, it is central to the notion that many things in life are “taken as given” and serve as constraints rather than as decision alternatives • In economics, theory of search are a central concern of the study of decisions • The study of decision making is, in any way, the study of search and attention
System Theory • System theory has evolved from the philosophy underpinning scientific reseacch • At the core of methodology are two sets of ideas: emergence and hierarchy, and communication and control.

DECISION MAKING OR PROBLEM SOLVING?(COOK & SLACK, 1991: 4) • SOME WRITERS ENVISAGE PROBLEM SOLVING AS A BROAD PROCESS THAT INCLUDES DECISION MAKING ………………… • OTHER AUTHORS DEPICT THE OPPOSITE—PROBLEM SOLVING AS AN ELEMENT IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS ……………. • A THIRD SET OF AUTHORS TREAT DECISION MAKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING AS SYNONYMOUS AND USE BOTH TERMS TO DESCRIBE A GENERAL PROCESS OF INFORMATION GATHERING, ANALYSIS, AND CHOICE BEHAVIOR.

A farmer in Wood County has 900 acres of land. She is going to plant each acre with corn, soybeans, or wheat. Each acre planted with corn yields a $2,000 profit; each with soybeans yields a $2,500 profit; and each with wheat yields $3,000 profit. She has 100 workers and 150 tons of fertilizer. The table below shows the requirement per acre of each of the crops. Assuming a linear relationship, determine the optimal planning mix of corn, soybeans, and wheat to miximize the profits. Corn Soybeans Wheat Labor (workers) 0.1 0.3 0.2 Fertilizer (tons) 0.2 0.1 0.4

WHAT DO MANAGERS DO?(Mintzberg’s ten managerial roles) • THE INTERPERSONAL ROLES (FIGUREHEAD, LEADER, LIAISON) • THE INFORMATIONAL ROLES (MONITOR, DISSEMINATOR, SPOKESPERSON) • THE DECISION ROLES (ENTREPRENEUR, DISTURBANCE HANDLER, RESOURCE ALLOCATOR, NEGOTIATOR)
MODELLING DECISIONS • (VERBAL) DESCRIPTIVE MODELS Description of what the observer perceived—subject to exclusion and aggregation • ANALOGUE MODELS Comparison of the observed situation with an analogous situation • RELATIONSHIP MODELS Influence relationships are implied between elements or events in decision situation—these relationships may be quantified
