    Session 4 (Decision Making Styles)

    Uploaded by

    Kamran Mukhtiar
    There are two basic decision making styles - logical/rational thinkers who process sequentially, and intuitive/creative thinkers with high ambiguity tolerance. These dimensions result in four styles: directive (logical, efficient, short-term focused), analytic (rational, high ambiguity tolerance), conceptual (broad outlook, long-term focused), and behavioral (insightful, concerned with people, open to suggestions). Group decision making provides more information and perspectives but is time-consuming; advantages include increased acceptance of solutions while disadvantages include diffused responsibility and reduced efficiency. Techniques like brainstorming, nominal groups, and electronic meetings can improve group decision making by encouraging ideas and independent thinking while maintaining interaction.

    DECISION MAKING STYLES

    BY: Hassan D Aslam

    DECISION MAKING STYLES


    There are two basic approaches of decision makers. First, some decision makers are logical and rational. They process in a sequential manner. Secondly, Some individuals think creatively and use their intuition/insight. They have high tolerance for ambiguity. When we diagram these two dimensions, four decision making styles are directive, analytic, conceptual and behavioral.

    DECISION MAKING STYLES


    Directive style These individuals are logical and efficient and typically fast decisions that focus on short term period. This style characterized by low tolerance for ambiguity and rational way of thinking. Analytic style focuses on high tolerance of ambiguity and combined with a rational way of thinking. These individuals prefer to complete information before making a decision.

    DECISION MAKING STYLES


    Conceptual Style represents someone who tends to be very broad in outlook and to look at many alternatives. These individuals tend to focus on long run and often look for creative solutions. Behavioral Style reflects individual who thinks insightfully but has a low tolerance of uncertainty. These decision makers work well with others, are open to suggestion and are concerned about the individuals who work for them.

    GROUP DECISION MAKING


    ADVANTAGES Group decision making provide more complete information than do individual once. Group brings a diversity of experiences and perspectives to decision making process. It increases acceptance of solution. If the people who will be affected by certain solution, and who will help implement it, participate in the decision they will be more likely to accept the decision and encourage others.

    GROUP DECISION MAKING


    Disadvantages Group decision making is time consuming. It takes time to assemble a group. Also, groups always take more time to reach a solution than an individual would take to make decision alone. In a group all members share responsibility but who is actually responsible. In an individual decision , it is clear who is responsible.

    HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE GROUP DECISION MAKING


    Brainstorming is an idea generating process that encourages alternatives while avoiding criticism. In a typical brainstorming session half-dozen to a dozen people sit together. The group leader states the problem and members explore different alternatives. No criticism is allowed.

    HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE GROUP DECISION MAKING


    Nominal group technique is a decision making technique in which the group members are physically present but operate independently. They secretly write a list of general problems and their solutions. The main advantage of this technique is it allow to the group to meet formally but doesnt restrict independent thinking.

    HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE GROUP DECISION MAKING


    Electronic Meeting is a type of nominal group technique in which participants are linked by computer. Issues are presented to the participants, who type their responses onto their computer screens. The major advantages of electronic meetings are anonymity, honesty and speed. Issues are presented to the participants, who type their responses onto computer screens. Individual comments as well as aggregate votes are displayed on a projection screen room.
