Beskrivelse
Indhold

One of the main reasons’ managers make irrational decisions is that they don’t follow a logical systematic process when making significant decisions and usually neglect to identify the problem clearly, generate alternatives and collect sufficient data. Generally, managers are hindered by insufficient data, limited time, and intellectual capacity. Also, they over-rely on heuristics for routine decisions. A thoughtful systematic process of decision-making will help managers counteract these problems.
