Problem solving & Decision making:

                 Problem solving & Decision making are two major things which influence an organizations growth.The job of manager lies in handling these situations with business acumen and bringing out fruitful outcomes from it.One more challenge yet to come is how to implement the decision??Is it by individual or group??Here are the four possible situations an organization can experience in decision making and its implementation.

 

• Individual Decision,Individual Implementation
• Individual Decision,Group Implementation
• Group Decision,Individual Implementation
• Group Decision,Group Implementation

         

               Out of four situations the last one is more complex as it involves many people in taking decision and implementing.It will be difficult to bring people on common consensus.

Steps in Decision Making:

• Estimation Analysis

              -Valuing                                                 

              -Priority Setting                                              

• Problem Analysis

              - Information Gathering

              - Problem definition 

• Solution Analysis

              - Idea getting

              - Decision making

• Implementation

              - Involving others

              - Planning

Comparing stages of Problem solving and Decision making:

Two major categories of problems can be:

• Rich and Poor differentiation
• Simple and Complex

Problems which seem to be "Tough" are not actually tough,it is the persons view on how he/she is analyzing it.What ever the problem is we should be ready to handle it. Taking the challenge is more important than coming up with solution.

          This is a critical phase where any organization experiances it often.The approaches and the implementations are the factors which distinuguish an organisation from each other. 

          Only Solutions can be classified as simple or complex but not the problems.
