Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd fd
fdcourse of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic
fd fd fd f d fd f d f d fd f d f d f d f d f d
fdprocess that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes
fd fd fd fd f d f d fd fd fd fd
referred to as reflective thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope

f dDecision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem solving. Because

problem solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time

Good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to other
