1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
A) It is an analysis of a situation
B) It is closely related to evaluation
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
D) It is dependent upon finding the causeof a
problemAns: C
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a
particular course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a
systematic process that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical
thinking, sometimes referred toas reflective thinking, is related to evaluation and
has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving.

A) Its need for implementation time
B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
D) Its failure to evaluate
alternatives Ans: A
Feedback:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints
are a consideration. Decision making can occur withoutthe full analysis
required in problemsolving. Because problem solN
ving attempts to identify the
root problem in situations, much time and energy are spent on identifying the
real problem.

A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different
individuals for thesame problems
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person's value system

decisionAns: B

either consciously or subconsciously.

Feedback:
The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated bythe decision
maker, the better the final decision will be. The alternatives generated and
the final choices are limited by each person's value system.



5. What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to believe?
A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers
B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to others
C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers
D) Good decision making requires analytical rather thancreative
processesAns: B

sensitive to other people and situations. Left-brain thinkers are typically better
at processing language, logic, numbers,and sequential ordering, whereas right-
brain thinkers excel at nonverbal ideation and holistic synthesizing.
