Synopsis
This highly practical and reader-friendly book considers effective decision-making skills as most vital to achieving success in life and business. It aims to analyze and evaluate decision-making processes that help us make decisions among various possible courses of conduct. The analytic system described in the book offers a large array of powerful application tools useful for building effective decision-making skills both at the individual and organizational levels, and developing strong interpersonal relationships with peers and clients. The book attempts at building intellectual bridges between the varied modes of thinking that exist in social and decision sciences and in the field of organizational behavior. Accordingly, Parts I to IV of the book concentrate on a wide range of topics such as setting goals, identifying capabilities, improving the existing resources, analyzing cost benefits, acquiring a sound knowledge of the world around us and applying mental operations to the new knowledge obtained. Along the way, the text also covers other essential ideas such as identifying tastes and prefe-rence, personal skill assessment, multitasking, risk and uncertainty, human resource management, time constraints, data collection and more-to help people make the most effective use of their time and energy. By knitting together the varied ideas in a common framework, this book, written by a top business scholar, provides a clear account of business skills development and should appeal to those simply requiring a digestible, sound overview of the subject-in particular, students of business administration and practising managers.
