Kajian deskriptif ini berdasarkan kaedah tinjauan dengan menggunakan 480 orang pengguna yang membeli–belah di tiga pasaraya terbesar di Johor Bahru (Pasaraya Giant di Plentong dan Tampoi serta Carefour). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor kesempurnaan merupakan faktor yang paling tinggi mempengaruhi gaya pembuatan keputusan pembelian barangan di kalangan pengguna. Manakala tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan dalam gaya pembuatan keputusan pengguna berdasarkan jantina. Kajian ini juga menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan signifikan gaya pembuatan keputusan dalam pembelian barangan berdasarkan etnik Melayu, Cina dan India. Kata kunci: Gaya pembuatan keputusan, tingkah laku pengguna, pengguna The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence decision–making style among consumers as well as to identify consumers’ decision–making style differences based on gender and ethnics. Eight factors which influence decision making style among consumers were investigated such as confusion caused by too many choices, loyalty to brand, impulsiveness, novelty fashion consciousness, perfect quality, price conscious, recreational and brand conciousness. This descriptive study used a survey method which involved 480 consumers of three supermarkets in Johor Bahru (Giant at Plentong and Tampoi, and Carrefour). Results indicated that the perfect quality factor was the dominant influence on decision–making styles among respondents and that there is no difference of decision–making style based on gender. However, there is a significant difference of decision–making styles based on Malay, Chinese, and Indian ethnicity. Key words: Decision-making style, consumer behavior, consumer

Facing constantly increasing product variety and changing customer demands, many companies have adopted a product modularisation strategy to increase strategic flexibility. Despite the dominant view that product modularisation directly increases strategic flexibility, it is argued here that the causal link between product modularisation and strategic flexibility is mediated by specific complementary organisational factors which enable firms with a modular product structure to develop strategic flexibility. Moreover, the interrelationship between product architecture and organisational structure is regarded as reciprocal. That is, product architecture and organisational structure are considered to co-evolve and mutually influence each other. The purpose of this paper is to elucidate how firms applying a modularisation strategy organise in order to increase the strategic flexibility, and how the organisational structure is interrelated with the product architecture, especially the ability to maintain a modular product architecture over time. Two International automotive companies, both of them implemented a modularisation strategy in the mid-1990s, have been studied. From the cases it can be concluded that the alignment of product and organisational architecture, decision-making structures, and the management of knowledge affect a firm's ability to evolve its products and maintain a modular product structure over time.

Since construction projects are usually associated with high range of risks, risk analysis is an essential part within the decision-making processes in this industry. This study aims at finding the effect of appropriate risk analysis on enhancing the performance of the construction projects in Kuwait. Through this correlational descriptive study, a questionnaire was used to collect the main data where it was distributed on a sample of (150) engineers working in the construction projects in Kuwait. The results showed that risks analysis aspects are highly implemented in Kuwait and that the performance indices for the construction projects are high. Moreover, it was found that there is a statistically significant positive effect of risk analysis on the performance of the construction projects in Kuwait. Finally, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the effect of risk analysis on the performance of the construction projects attributed to the project type in favor of the private projects.
