Explanation of Solution

The main elements of every decision should include basic problem, courses of action, factors that influence the decision, evaluation of courses of action, decision and implementation of decision.

  • The main elements of a decision first include the assessment of basic problem about which the decision should be made, the problem should be clear and the objective of decision should be clear.
  • Another element is the courses of action which includes the determination of actions that the decision to be taken would involve.
  • After determination of courses of action the evaluation of those actions are necessary. It is important to see whether these actions are worth to be taken or not.
