| | Decision making - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A critical aspect for decision making groups is the ability to converge on a choice. | | | The ethical principles of decision making vary considerably. | | | It is perhaps pertinent to note that the cost of making no decision at all itself is a factor, and that the benefit of making some decision, even a random choice, can be beneficial in the longer term. |

| | Decision Making and Problem Solving, by Herbert A. Simon |
| | Decision making in organizational settings, which is much less well understood than individual decision making and problem solving, can be studied with great profit using already established methods of inquiry, especially through intensive long-range studies within individual organizations. | | | Most of the current research on decision making and problem solving is carried on in universities, frequently with the support of government funding agencies and private foundations. | | | The study of actual decision processes (for example, the strategies used by corporations to make their investments) reveals massive and unavoidable departures from the framework of SEU theory. |

| | Introduction to Decision Making |
| | Decision making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision maker. | | | A decision based on partial knowledge is usually better than not making the decision when a decision is really needed. | | | And a decision left unmade will often result in a decision by default or a decision being made for you. |

| | Decision Making Techniques |
| | Issues should be examined and decisions should be made at all of these levels. | | | Without a plan, crises are dealt with haphazardly and decisions are made which may ultimately be in conflict with each other. | | | Operational decisions can be preprogrammed, pre-made, or set out clearly in policy manuals. |

| | Therefore worrying about making a decision is a waste of time. | | | The measure of success is not whether you have a tough decision to deal with, but whether it's the same decision you had before. | | | Selection of an appropriate decision technology depends mostly on the type of information available and the technical working knowledge of the decision analyst. |

| | Decision-making |
| | Each decision must be calculated in the very smallest fraction of time. | | | A Referee who prepares himself with a standard method for dealing with impossible decisions, will eventually find that although impossible decisions are the hardest to make, they are probably the easiest to make - because he makes them consistently, quickly, without worrying and makes them automatically. | | | Believe in yourself, and be confident that your decisions will, for the most part, be correct. |

| | DECISION THEORY |
| | The decision maker's preferences for the mutually exclusive consequences of an alternative are described by a utility function that permits calculation of the EXPECTED UTILITY for each alternative. | | | The second approach is to reduce the uncertainty case to the case of risk by using SUBJECTIVE PROBABILITIES, based on expert assessments or on analysis of previous decisions made in similar circumstances. | | | [decision UNDER certainty] means that each alternative leads to one and only one consequence, and a choice among alternatives is equivalent to a choice among consequences. |
