1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) It is an analysis of a situation
hg hg hg hg hg hg
B) It is closely related to evaluation
hg hg hg hg hg
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
hg hg hg hg hg hg
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: C hg
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular c
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ourse of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process t
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
hat focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to asr
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
eflective thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader scope than decision makin
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
g and problem solving.
hg hg hg
2. What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) Its need for implementation time hg hg hg hg
B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
hg hg hg hg hg
D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: A hg
Feedback:
The traditional problem-
hg hg
solving model is less effective when time constraints are a consideration. Decision ma
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
king can occur without the full analysis required in problemsolving. Because problem s
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
olN
ving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time and energy are sp
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ent on identifying the real problem.
hg hg hg hg hg
3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
same problems hg
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person's value system hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific approach to problem
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
solving is used hg hg
D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: B hg
Feedback:
Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will influ
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ence a person's decision making. No matter how objective the criteria will be, valuejudg
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ments will always play a part in a person's decision making, either consciously or subco

4. What influences the quality of a decision most often?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) The decision maker's immediate superior
hg hg hg hg
B) The type of decision that needs to be made
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Questions asked and alternatives generated hg hg hg hg
D) The time of day the decision is made
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: C hg
Feedback:
The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated by the decision maker, the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
better the final decision will be. The alternatives generated and the final choices are li
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
mited by each person's value system.
hg hg hg hg hg
5. What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
D) Good decision making requires analytical rather than creative processes
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: B hg
Feedback:
Good decision makers seem to have antennae that make them particularly sensitive to o
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ther people and situations. Left-
hg hg hg hg
brain thinkers are typically better at processing language, logic, numbers, and sequentia
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
l ordering, whereas right-
hg hg hg
brain thinkers excel atnonverbal ideation and holistic synthesizing.

6. What is the best definition of decision making?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) The planning process of management hg hg hg hg
B) The evaluation phase of the executive role
hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) One step in the problem-solving process
hg hg hg hg hg
D) Required to justify the need for scarce items hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: C hg
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex, cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
course of action. Decision making, one step in the problem-
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
solving process, is an important task that relies heavily on critical thinking and clinical
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
reasoning skills. hg

hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) An alternative problem hg hg
B) A chosen course of action hg hg hg hg
C) An action that guarantees success hg hg hg hg
D) A restatement of the solution
hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: B hg
Feedback:
A decision is made when a course of action has been chosen. Problem solving is part of
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on analyzing a difficult situati
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
on. Problem solving always includes a decision-making step.

hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) Some values are not realistic or healthy hg hg hg hg hg hg
B) Not all values are of equal worth hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Our values remain unchanged over time hg hg hg hg hg
D) Our values often collide with one another

hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) It is a simple approach to decision making

C) It requires reasoning and creative analysis
hg hg hg hg hg

Feedback:
Critical thinking has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving. It is
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
sometimes referred to as reflective thinking. Critical thinking also involves reflecting
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
upon the meaning of statements, examining the offered evidence and reasoning, and

10. How do administrative man managers make the majority of their decisions?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) After gathering all the facts hg hg hg hg
B) In a manner good enough to solve the problem
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) In a rational, logical manner hg hg hg hg
D) After generating all the alternatives possible hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: B hg
Feedback:
Many managers make decisions that are just “good enough” because of lack of time,
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
energy, or creativity to generate a number of alternatives. This is also called
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
“satisficing.” Most people make decisions too quickly and fail to systematicallyexamin
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
e a problem or its alternatives for solution.
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
11. What needs to be considered in evaluating the quality of one's decisions?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A) Is evaluation necessary when using a good decision-making model?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
B) Can evaluation be eliminated if the problem is resolved?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) Will the effectiveness of the decision maker be supported?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
D) Will the evaluation be helpful in increasing one's decision-
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
making skills?Ans: D hg hg hg
Feedback:
The evaluation phase is necessary to find out more about one's ability as a decision
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
maker and to find out where the decision making was faulty.

12. Which statement concerning the role of the powerful in organizational decision making
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
is true?
hg
A) They exert little influence on decisions that are made hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
B) They make decisions made that are in congruence with their own values
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
C) They allow others to make the decisions however they wish hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
D) They make all the important decisions with consideration to others
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
Ans: B hg
Feedback:
Not only does the preference of the powerful influence decisions of others in the organ
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
ization, but the powerful are also able to inhibit the preferences of the less powerful. P
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
owerful people in organizations are more likely to have decisions made thatare congrue
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
nt with their own preferences and values.
