How are decisions made
in organizations?

Decision environments include:
Certain environments.
A situation in which a manager can make an accurate
decision because the outcome of every alternative choice
is known.
Risk environments.
A situation in which the manager is able to estimate thelikelihood (probability) of outcomes that result from the
choice of particular alternatives.
Uncertain environments.
Limited information prevents estimation of outcome
probabilities for alternatives associated with the problem
and may force managers to rely on intuition, hunches, and
“gut feelings”.

Garbage Can
Model
Views decision-making as ahighly unstructured process
A model of decision makingthat views problems,solutions, participants, andchoice situations as mixed
together in the “garbagecan” of the organization.
Instead of identifying aproblem,the model proposesthat decisions begin with the
solution. When solutionsemerge, problems arise.

Rationality
Bounded Rationality
Intuition
Involves gut feeling
May also have rational basis
The “feeling” arises from past experience and knowledge
Involves quicker response
Some believe it is a personality trait with which very few
people are born with
It doesn’t necessarily operate independently of rational
analysis; rather the two complement
