Synopsis

Rather than present decision making strictly as a quantitative science, this text views it as a multidimensional process involving values, psychology, sociology, social psychology, and politics. Using a process model--a focus on the process of a decision rather than the outcome--the book presents a variety of perspectives useful for making and evaluating decisions in all kinds of organizations.

Synopsis

Taking a behavioural approach to the decision-making course, this text is intended for both practising managerial decision-makers and students. It meshes numerous behavioural disciplines, and views decision-making as a multi-dimensional process rather than just a quantitative science. Using a process model which focuses on the process of arriving at an outcome rather than just on the decision itself, the book presents many multifaceted perspectives which are relevant for making and evaluating decisions in all kinds of organizations. For this edition, the primary orientation has been expanded to encompass strategic decision-making at the top management level of organizations. An ancillary package is available upon adoption.
