Abstract

Decision-making in organizations is still a challenging process, and organizational management must implement some tactics to make things simpler and the decision-making process more efficient. Each organization deals with a number of internal and external variables that either directly or indirectly affect decision-making in many cases. This paper argues that while some organizations employ qualitative and quantitative methodologies to forecast the outcome of potential situations, some organizations use the quality management framework as a decision-making tool. Organizations equally encounter numerous obstacles and hurdles as they seek to make wise judgments. This implies that decisions can be expressed as gains or losses or as a benchmark by which the various possibilities can be measured. Finally the paper observes that the quality of decision-making depends on clearly defining the goals, offering choices for resolving issues, and considering and balancing values and interests.
