leadership and management

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 cause of a problem Ans: 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 to as reflective thinking, is related to evaluation
and has a broader scope than decision making and problem solving.

2. What

1. A) Its need for implementation time

2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results

3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data

4. 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 without the full analysis required in problem solving. Because problem
solving attempts to identify the root problem in situations, much time and energy are spent on
identifying the real problem.

3. Which of the following statements is true regarding decision making?

,1. A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different individuals for the same problems

2. B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each persons value system

4. D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision

Ans: B Feedback:

Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways of thinking will influence a persons
decision making. No matter how objective the criteria will be, value judgments will always play a part in
a persons decision making, either consciously or subconsciously.

system.

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.
