Tolerance for uncertainty is a component of intellectual-personal potential and mediates the decision-making process (DM). The state of Art demonstrates that tolerance of uncertainty contributes to effective and productive decision-making and associated with the constructs that reveal the emotional sphere of a person. The theory of dynamic regulative systems predicts that in the decision-making process, both cognitive and emotional-personal components (tolerance of uncertainty, emotional creativity, and emotional experience of threats from uncertainty) can reach the upper levels of the hierarchy. The role of tolerance for uncertainty in the decision-making processes is relatively well known, however the contribution of the emotional sphere to the problem-solving processes, as well as its relationship with tolerance of uncertainty, is not sufficiently studied. The aim of the study was to establish correlations between emotional creativity and tolerance for uncertainty and productive decision-making strategies. Hypotheses: positive correlation between emotional creativity tolerance of uncertainty productive decision-making strategies was expected. As a result, positive relationship between emotional creativity and tolerance of uncertainty was revealed. It is shown that emotional creativity can be involved in decision-making processes in two ways: to help overcome uncertainty and increase the effectiveness of problem solving, or to lead to difficulties in overcoming interpersonal intolerance of uncertainty, due to a decrease in components of self-control and control of emotional expression. Taken together, the results demonstrate the inclusion of uncertainty tolerance in the emotional sphere of the person, and show the involvement of these components in the DM processes.

Economic Understanding

The paper presents important issues of decision making processes with an emphasis on rational and irrational components of these processes. After a short introduction outlining the need for a deeper understanding of rational and non-rational factors that affect the decisions people make, the rationality of people decisions in daily life is questioned and the role of non-rational factors such as intuition are analyzed. The economic understanding of the decision making process is presented and principles of rational decision-making are explained. Different methods used and recommended by economists in order to make decisions are presented and applied in different life situations in order to demonstrate their value in daily life. Special emphasis is put on factors such as imperfect information, illusion of control, or risk aversion that may affect the rationality of the decision making processes. In the final section of the paper the concept of bounded rationality is introduced and explained along with new theories in economics that are challenging the classic economic perspective on the decision making process

AbstractThis article argues that the involvement of technical experts in decision making promotes better environmental results while simultaneously recognizing the uncertainty in science. India’s record as a progressive jurisdiction in environmental matters through its proactive judiciary is internationally recognized. The neoteric National Green Tribunal of India (NGT) – officially described as a ‘specialised body equipped with necessary expertise to handle environmental disputes involving multi-disciplinary issues’ – is a forum which offers greater plurality for environmental justice. The NGT, in exercising wide powers, is staffed by judicial and technical expert members who decide cases in an open forum. The experts are ‘central’, rather than ‘marginal’, to the NGT’s decision-making process.This article draws on theoretical insights developed by Lorna Schrefler and Peter Haas to analyze the role of scientific experts as decision makers within the NGT. Unprecedented interview access provides data that grants an insight into the internal decision-making processes of the five benches of the NGT. Reported cases, supported by additional comments of bench members, illustrate the wider policy impact of scientific knowledge and its contribution to the NGT’s decision-making process.

The Relationship

Abstract:Community involvement in a democratic party is important and must exist, because it is a manifestation of true democracy. Citizens are directly involved in the decision-making process, implementing decisions, influencing decision-making processes, influencing government policies, including relating to active involvement and passive involvement of each individual in the hierarchy of government political systems. All this involvement is known as a form of political participation. This study wants to rebuild political participation as a basic theory in the country's political thinking. So that the relationship can be drawn between the role of community political participation and the success of democracy itself.Keywords: Participation, Politics, Democracy Abstrak:Keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pesta demokrasi merupakan hal penting dan harus ada, karena ia merupakan perwujudan demokrasi yang sebenarnya. Warga negara terlibat langsung dalam proses pembuatan keputusan, melaksanakan keputusan, mempengaruhi proses pengambilan keputusan, mempengaruhi kebijakan pemerintah, termasuk berkaitan dengan keterlibatan aktif maupun keterlibatan pasif setiap individu dalam hierarki sistem politik pemerintahan. Semua keterlibatan ini dikenal sebagai bentuk partisipasi politik. Penelitian ini ingin membangun kembali partisipasi politik sebagai teori dasar dalam pemikiran politik negara. Sehingga dengannya dapat ditarik benang merah antara peran partisipasi politik masyarakat dengan kesuksesan demokrasi itu sendiri.Kata Kunci: Partisipasi, Politik, Demokrasi

The ever more widespread use of the Internet now makes it possible to bring many more persons than hitherto into environmental impact assessment and resulting decision-making processes. Because most at these persons are non-experts, however, it is necessary to provide them with tools that will support their assessments and decision-making efforts. When these tools are directed primarily to the making of judgements they may be described as judgement engines. The need to promote cooperative attitudes among participants in the assessment and judgemental/decision-making process, requires that these tools should promote transparency. Judgemental processes are introduced and related to evaluation processes so as to provide a characterisation of transparency. This paper gives an overview of the relevant Internet technologies and then takes the reader through the conception and realisation of one client–server component of an Internet-distributed judgement engine for environmental impact assessment. Because this is built upon the MikeImpact judgement engine of the Danish Hydraulic Institute, it is called a Web-MikeImpact. Although possibly of interest to specialists in information and control technologies, this paper is primarily intended as a background for potential users of Web-MikeImpact. It should be used alongside the use of the artefact that it describes, as this is available on http://www.hi.ihe.nl/hi/test/mikeimpact/mikeindex1.htm.

Fashion Retail

PurposeThe Chinese fashion market is becoming increasingly important in terms of consumption volume and value. A critical aspect of the Chinese fashion market is the role of the fashion retail buyer; however, there exists little literature on their role and their decision-making process. This paper, therefore, explores the role of Chinese fashion retail buyers, their decision-making process as well as the key factors that influence the retail buyer's decision-making process.Design/methodology/approachInformed by the inductive approach within Sheth's (1981) framework, in-depth interviews with a number of retail buyers in nine leading fashion companies in China were carried out to explore fashion retail buyers' decision-making processes.FindingsThe results show that management mentality, type of merchandise and type of decision context were the most influencing factors regarding merchandise requirements (MRs). Fashion retail buyers in China are substantially restricted by the management style of the firm, which also influences the product mix choice. To evaluate merchandise, fashion buyers take into account consumer demand, company position, geographical differences and fashion trends. In regards to supplier selection, production stability coupled with quality and cost factors become paramount. The study also demonstrates that country of origin (COO) is a less significant factor in the fashion buyer's decision-making process.Originality/valueThis is the first study that explores the fashion retail buyer's decision-making processes in the Chinese market. The results show Chinese fashion buyers' decision-making processes differ significantly from other markets. This paper offers guidelines for an efficient and effective fashion retail buying process in China. The findings offer important avenues for further research and provide insights for fashion professionals in the Chinese and other emerging markets contexts.

Kesenjangan gender atau perbedaan peran laki-laki dan perempuan terhadap akses dan kontrol dalam pengambilan keputusan pada aktivitas perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Natuna masih tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesenjangan gender pada pemanfaatan perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Natuna; dan merumuskan strategi untuk mencapai kesetaraan gender. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang terpilah gender. Data primer dikumpulkan pada bulan Agustus 2019 terhadap 52 responden nelayan penangkap ikan skala kecil di 5 (lima) kecamatan di Pulau Bunguran – Kabupaten Natuna. Data diolah dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan software excel untuk memperoleh persentase tiga keputusan responden pada 5 kecamatan tersebut. Hasil analisis menunjukkan pengambilan keputusan pada perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Natuna masih didominasi oleh laki-laki. Kesenjangan gender terjadi pada aktivitas persiapan penangkapan ikan, kegiatan penangkapan ikan di laut, paska panen (penangkapan) ikan. Oleh karena itu, Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Natuna perlu merancang program stimulasi ekonomi untuk membuka lapangan kerja bagi perempuan dan memberi peluang partisipasi terhadap istri nelayan dalam pengambilan keputusan, dengan melibatkannya dalam kegiatan pelelangan ikan di tempat pelelangan ikan (TPI) atau pengurus armada penangkapan ikan. Title: Gender Gap of Small Scale Fisheries Utilization in Natuna Regency The gender gap or the different role of access and control among men and women on the decision making process in small scale fishery activities in Natuna is remain high. The purpose of this research is to analyze the gender gap in small-scale fisheries utilization and to provide the strategy to achieve gender equality. Gender disaggregated primary data were collected in August 2019 from 52 respondents of the small scale fishermen in 5 sub regency in the Bungguran Island of Natuna Regency. The data were processed using excel software to find out the percentage of 3 reasons for respondent participation. The findings shows that decision maker is dominated by fishermen. The gender gap occurred in preparation process of the fishing activities, fishing activities, and post fishing activities. Therefore, government of Natuna Regency must prepare the economic stimulus program for providing labor opportunities for women, encourage the participation of the fishermen’s wife in decision making process by involving them in fish auction activity or as manager of fishing fleets.

Representation Of Interests

Abstract Lobbying in the modern world is becoming part of decision-making processes at the local, state, supranational and global levels. The lobbying process is characterized by the use of various techniques and tools, which is why there are many definitions. In the European Union, it is perceived as a European representation of interests, through which different groups try to influence the decision-making process in the various institutions. Lobbying is often referred to when it is necessary to describe a particular political process, event or phenomenon that has not reached the general public or has remained opaque due to its specific nature. As lobbying becomes increasingly important, this article aims to clarify what lobbying is and what its legitimate and acceptable forms are. It is not without reason that there is a general distrust of the lobbying process and, in particular, of the real intentions of lobbyists. Therefore, many people believe that such activities distort the political process in terms of transparency, integrity and influence. Given the sensitive nature of the topic of lobbying, some good practices from existing lobbying rules at European level will also be considered.

<p>One of the challenges facing managers in modern-day business is the ability to make effective decisions amidst complexity. Complexity manifests in many aspects of business, in particular the competitive environment. Complexity causes uncertainty and ambiguity which force businesses to think creatively in order to be adaptive and responsive. Traditional practices of decision making are often inadequate to deal with the challenges of modern-day complexity. Recognition is growing that modern businesses need to enhance their decision-making processes and systems to better reflect the current business environment.   Traditional models of decision making are based on rational and intuitive decision-making processes. The present study draws upon insights from the emerging field of neuroscience to explore cognitive processes of decision making. In particular, the process of metacognition (the ability to think about what one is thinking about) is examined. The central proposition underlying the study is that awareness of metacognition can improve decision-making ability at the individual level of analysis.  The literature on metacognition and decision making provide a foundation for integrating across the two disciplines. Theoretical and operational models are developed from these literatures. The main aim of the research is to introduce the concept of metacognition, a phenomenon salient in the neuroscience literature, to the process of decision making within the modern business context.   The study tests the influence of understanding metacognition in relation to decision making through an experimental design, including use of experimental and control groups. The experimental group receives advance exposure to metacognitive strategies, including thinking aloud and visualisation, whereas the control group approaches the decision making exercises without special instructions. Decision making is measured by three exercises: problem solving, memory retention and lateral thinking. Each exercise is examined and tested individually to determine the extent of the influence of metacognitive awareness. Baseline metacognitive ability is assessed through a Metacognitive Awareness Inventory for both groups as a control variable.  Ninety students across four Victoria University of Wellington business school undergraduate courses voluntarily participated in the experiment. The students were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Each participant was given a questionnaire requiring approximately 30 minutes to complete, with a number of problem statements and exercises that tested problem solving, memory retention and lateral thinking ability.   The findings from the study demonstrate that the experimental group, who were cued in advance to apply metacognitive strategies, performed better at problem solving and memory retention. There was no significant difference in means between the experimental and control group for the lateral thinking exercise. These results are discussed in detail.  The research suggests that teaching students about the concept of metacognition along with developing skills in the application of metacognitive strategies have the potential to enhance decision-making capacity, which in turn will address the challenges of complexity. It is proposed that the findings from this study may be relevant within the managerial context and that similar interventions might be considered for future management development programmes. These findings support the current literature which has primarily focused on the school sector. Limitations are recognised, including generalisability, and avenues for future research are proposed, including further applications of metacognition, along with other insights from neuroscience, to enhance processes of business decisio</p>
