Decision-making

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Decision making)

Decision making is the mental process that leads to the selection of an action among several alternatives. Every decision making process produces a final choice.[1] The output can be an action or an opinion.

There is a growing awareness that people often make good decisions rapidly without knowing how they do it.[2][3] This runs against the older rational decision-making ideas.[4]
