Decision Analysis

The decision making process includes cognitive processes that eventually lead to a choice in action while taking into consideration the alternative possibilities (Allen, Dorozenko, & Roberts, 2016). Not all choices have to lead to an action. The values and preferences of the person making the choice also comes into play when making the final decision. Problem-solving to obtain a certain goal or satisfactory by a solution is the main reason people go through the decision making process (Stefaniak, & Tracey, 2014). This process has many factors that end with one final result or solution. The decisions made can be rational or irrational and can be determined by explicit or tacit knowledge (Qingyao, Dongyu, & Weihua, 2016). Since the decision making process can be very difficult at time, psychologists have viewed the process in different perspectives to get a better understanding (Rossi, Picchi, Di Stefano, Marongiu, & Scarsini, 2015). The different perspectives include; psychological, cognitive, and normative or communicative rationality.

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.

A- They should weight the criteria to optimize and determine the best of the best. For

The forced-ranking is frequently used in performance-based management because of the focus on talent. The use of forced-ranking of recruiters allowed DaVita to score the recruiters as well as employees recruited through the agency.

Although it good to apply theoretical rules or in other meaning make a decision with rationality, but in fact most managers interested in action and finally results not in decision itself also sometimes peoples are not behave in rationally because many causes, the first one, that people are not cleaver enough to behave rationally. The second one it is a common and inherent characteristics and features of human being which are difficult to change them by training. And the third one related to decision- makers information who have incomplete information or have more those information which can human beings understand.

United Methodist follows four Theological Task that we base our decision-making from. The following are the four Theological Task:

The selection of a RFP based on the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The evaluation involves four stages – first, proposals must meet all mandatory requirements; second, proposals are rated according to criteria outlined in

Profitability: the main problem that troubles the company right now is the declining profits. Hence, the key factor of evaluating an alternative is its profitability. It will be measured simply by calculating the net income earned by the company.

This is a two stage process. Tiffany first lists each option and gives a value to each in the criteria categories after doing research on each one Tiffany’s chart can be seen below:

Decision Making Model. Although I only learned about this a few weeks ago I have already started using it in my everyday life. For example, when I am at school and someone is pressuring me to do something that I know is wrong, I think about the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model to help me make my decision. First I would define the problem or challenge. Next, I would think about my choices. I would analyze my options on what I could do. Then, I would have to respond and make a choice using the facts and information I have gathered. Finally, I would review my choice, and think about the decision I have made. Did I make the right one? This is how to use the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model. This has helped me understand many different concepts. Not only has this been useful during D.A.R.E. but also in many other occasions. I have used this at school when I see someone is getting mistreated, or when I am at home using the kitchen and there is something on the stove and I want to make sure I don’t get burned. This is one of the many things I learned in

criteria must be met in order for an alternative to be eligible for selection. The threshold criteria

Since alternative policy options, our criteria and weighing are projected, it is possible for us to analyze alternatives against criteria.

First I broke down the criteria in this report and assigned weights. The weights determine which level of importance each criterion had. The higher weight figure was, the more important that aspect was. After the weights were determined,

The new system places significant importance on how each employee is performing vs. your direct competitors. We do this by simultaneously shopping your employees plus your top 3 to 5 competitors.

Once a decision maker has defined the problem, he or she needs to identify the decision criteria that will be important in solving the problem. In this step, the decision maker is determining what’s relevant in making the decision. This step brings the decision maker’s interests, values, and personal preferences into the process. Identifying criteria is important because what one person thinks is relevant, another may not. Also keep in mind that any factors not identified in this step are considered as irrelevant to the decision maker.
