Lack of Structure
• Programmed Decisions– Decisions encountered
and made before, having objectively correct answers, and solvable by using simple rules, policies, or numerical computations
• Non-programmed Decisions– New, novel, complex
decisions having no proven answers

Uncertainty and Risk
We operate in an environment— the Internet—where there’s an enormous amount of uncertainty. You can’t be sure what’s going to happen tomorrow,
never mind next year. The danger is that the uncertainty can lead to paralysis. You spend so
much time trying to nail down all the possibilities and risks, you never get around to taking action. And if that happens—if you become indecisive—
you’re dead.- George Conrades
Chairman and CEO Akamai Technologies

Conflict
• Conflict exists when the manager must consider opposing pressures from different sources; occurs at two levels– Psychological conflict occurs when several
options are attractive, or when non of the options is attractive

The Best Decision
• To make the best decision managers must use vigilance– Vigilance is a process in which
a decision maker carefully executes all stages of the decision making process
• Research shows that when managers use a rational decision making process they tend to make better decisions

Psychological Biases
• The Illusion of Control—a belief that you can influence events when an objective analysis would reveal that you can’t.
• Framing—responding to the way the problem is stated rather than the problem itself.
• Discounting the Future—using selection criteria based on short-term gain and ignoring long-term costs or benefits.

Decision Making in Groups
• The basic philosophy for group decision making is that ‘two heads are better than one’
• Group performance is a function of two variables– How effectively the group capitalizes on potential
advantages– How effectively the group minimizes potential
problems

Brainstorming
• Brainstorming is a commonly used technique used to encourage creativity
• It is a process in which group members generate as many ideas about a problem as they can; criticism is withheld until all ideas have been proposed
