Decision-making in the workforce is a process of responsibilities used by upper management to implement, enforce rules, regulations, and maintain a successful environment. Decision-making implemented more effectively by making a plan, thinking it through, accepting more than one opinion and determining what is best. However, decision-making often utilized more effectively by opening doors of opportunities for a suggestion, question, discussion, and feedback. Although, more involvement helps improve understanding, utilize behavior skills and present opportunities for better communication. Everyday life consists of decision-making, the right decision may not always be applied, but ensure room for improvement and opportunity. Individuals approached decision-making in many different ways. As stated by (Jones, Graham, & Bateman, 2006) decision making is a procedure used to recognize a problem, weigh the alternatives and evaluate a solution in which, certain situations will require different approaches to become effective.

In the problem analysis phase of effective decision making, group members should recognize any obstacle that may arise that needs to be improved or changed and determine the characteristics, magnitude, and possible cause(s) of that obstacle confronting them. This phase lays the groundwork for what the group should be prepared for as they work together (Hirokawa & Salazar, 1999 p. 170).After analyzing the problem, the group should then discuss and establish goals and objectives in order to generate proposed solutions of

Top-level executives and key managers are at the helm of the decision-making process with the focal point being selecting the best choice. Selecting the best choices or alternative of choices derive from assessments, interviews, surveys and audits that evaluates the strategic position of the selected choices. Consequently, the chief executive officer at some point should show how the middle-managers, front-line managers, employees and client fit into the decision-making process.

Kyrie Irving vs DET ($9,400) - Uncle Drew could be in for a big game against the Pistons tonight. Why?

Throughout the world of sports, it is very common for athletes to get injured or bruised up. A lot of the injuries that athletes suffer from often require surgery and intense rehab. Many kids are stuck with paying the medical bill and have no insurance to cover it. The worst part about all of this is that most college coaches end up taking away the player's scholarship because of an injury. The NCAA has its own catastrophic injury insurance, which insures individual athletes up to $20 million. But the majority don’t qualify. This example just shows that most athletes don’t have enough money to get insurance which would help them with their injury. As a result for the players not having insurance, the coaches will end up taking away their scholarship.

The American League has already had to replace two pitchers on the All-star game roster, and White Sox starter Jose Quintana continues to be snubbed.

Prince Sports has managed to remain in their field, but the task was not easy. They have been in business for over forty years and have continued to evolve to fit the needs of the consumers while also managing to expand their products. In doing so, they have needed to keep their company ahead of trends that have occurred in the market. So far, they have managed to do so, but with the continuously changing market and economy, Prince Sports needs to constantly be performing research on how to stay ahead.

The target audience for Star Athletics will range in age from 13 to 40 years old. This line will be for the active male and female. Beyond deciding segments of the market it will target, the company must decide on how it will create differentiated value for targeted segments and what positions it wants to occupy those segments (Armstrong, 2016 p 189). Star Athletics will differentiate itself from the competitor by creating clothing recycling the unwanted coffee grounds. Our competition doesn’t use coffee fibers in its clothing they use traditional fabrics and fibers such as : cotton, spandex, nylon, Polypropylene, spandex, and wool. The benefits of using the coffee grounds are: The resultant fabric is soft, light, flexible and breathable and can also be used to produce an outer shell that is water resistant... it only takes the grounds from one cup of coffee to make enough material for a couple of T-shirts (O’Connell, 2009).

I am winding down my senior year at College Park High School in The Woodlands, Texas. I will graduate on June 1, 2017 and am looking forward to starting college this August. I have been accepted to the College of Charleston in Charleston in South Carolina. CofC is a NCAA Level I school and my dream is to participate on their track team. I hold the record for high jump at my high school; however, to be on the team at CofC, I have to jump 5’5 or more. My highest jump thus far is 5’4”, so I must clear one more inch to make the team. I am practicing every day to make that happen. Ultimately, I want to obtain my degree in exercise science and use my experience and education to make a difference in the lives of athletes.

Today the committee revealed the four playoff teams. Their decision set the party guest list. A closer examination revealed one flaw. A missing party member capable of alternating the event. Iowa was supposed to be the dark horse. The school destined to crash the party. Instead the Hawkeyes are the latest compelling what if sports story. A`la the 01 Seattle Mariners. While Sparty prepares for battle Iowa, the Big10, and the playoff committee will look towards next year.

Of course I had dreams of playing professional sport like every other young male in the world but, a wise man spoke to me and he asked me how much my favorite basketball player makes on average, I did the research and Lebron James makes over 300 million dollars annually. Younger me got that information and as expected I held strong on my dreams of being a professional athlete until he showed me 0.0015% of Americans make it into the NBA.”Out of every 10,000 kids playing basketball in high school only 3 will make it to the pros. Note, this doesn’t mean they’re going to stay in the pros more than 5 seconds. This doesn’t mean they’re going to get a sneaker deal and be in a Pepsi commercial This simply means they’ll get drafted.” (Odds of Playing).

The decision is to select an action among a number of actions that solves a given problem, that prevents a problem from happening, or that forces to apply new ideas for development. The need for understanding decision making process is increasing because the complexity of modern organizations is increasing, and because the modern organizations' effectiveness depends on the decisions made by the managers. The question is how to select the most appropriate action to solve the problem satisfying all stakeholders.

The focus of my term paper is the decision making process used by today's top-level managers. Top-level managers, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Operations Officers (COOs), and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), must make critical decisions on a daily basis. Their choices and the resulting outcomes affect the company, the employees, and the stakeholders. Due to the high importance of their decisions, the process they use to reach them merits a close examination.
