Q.1 Decision Making Models: The Normative Model of Decision Making

Decision-making is utmost important to the organization progression and development. Organization progression from one development stage to another is known as "Organizational Life". The responsibility to steer the organization from one stage to another lies in the hands of managers. Their capabilities as decision-makers are measured by their ability to find efficient and progressive solutions for further development. It is therefore arguably that the single most important thing decision-makers do. And on a personal note, the quality of his decisions determines his success in the organization. Huber (1980) stated that there are two approaches to management decision making. The first is concerned with the development and application of standard decision rules based on formal logic derived from data, which is called the programmed decision. The second, which involves descriptive accounts of how people actually go about making decisions and choices, is known as the non-programmed decision. Managers` utmost concern in the decision making process is to ensure that the decision yields optimal results and the same is expected for all the decisions made.
