Effective Decision Making

In order to optimize public and officer safety, law enforcement training needs to adequately prepare officers for the complex tasks they will experience in the field. The incorporation of carefully-designed scenario-based training (SBT) into pre- and in-service training is essential for the development of effective decision making during dynamic, potentially volatile interactions with the public. This chapter provides an overview of various frameworks that should be adopted when developing SBT before identifying some issues to consider throughout this process. Finally, this chapter provides practical examples of how the development process can be completed. Given the very challenging task that curriculum designers and police trainers have to develop skilled police officers, this chapter seeks to provide valuable guidance to those seeking to optimize limited resources to improve police training.

Effective Decision Making

With the introduction of the Internet there has been a growth both in the quantity and accessibility of information to the public concerning health issues. This improved availability of information does not always lead to a more informed public since there is no quality control of information but it can lead to a public that takes a more active role in their own health and thus is involved in shared decision-making. In order to develop a more informed public in the future, systems for quality control of information have been addressed. These systems can range from the present state of uncontrolled information (no quality control) to full-centralised control (censored information). Between these extremes lie two, more appropriate, decentralised filtering approaches—'upstream filtering’ (where third parties set quality criteria and evaluate information) and ‘down-stream filtering’ (where data are rated, labelled and weighted according to consumers’ criteria). These systems of filtering are discussed along with recommendations for those using the Internet as a source of information. The paper also documents reliable sources of information for the public, highlights the current concepts of shared decision-making, and provides some guidelines for developing an effective decision-making strategy.

Effective Decision Making

Public administration (including local government administration), acts to implement the mission assigned to it by law. This mission – mainly related social life organizing and protecting of the general interest – requires an effective decision-making process. In this area the administrative sciences use the achievements of management sciences. Using new approaches in the field of administrative sciences, the public administration uses new, non-authoritative methods rather than the authoritative ones. The main issue in this area is to search the for new methods of managing of the local affairs while paying attention to the administration’s mission.

Law Making

This chapter examines the relationship between parliamentarism and the legislative branch. It explores the evolution of the legislative branch, leading to disillusionment with the rationalized law-making factory, a venture run by political parties beyond the reach of constitutional rules. The rise of democratically bred party rule is positioned between the forces favouring free debate versus effective decision-making in the legislature. The chapter analyses the institutional make-up and internal operations of the legislature, the role of the opposition in the legislative assembly, and explores the benefits of bicameralism for boosting the powers of the legislative branch. Finally, it looks at the law-making process and its outsourcing via delegating legislative powers to the executive.

Value Measurement

ABSTRACTIn the recent past life companies have made many decisions which they have had cause to deeply regret. This paper looks at the range of decision making theories available. It then examines recent examples of decisions that had unfavourable consequences and explores why they were taken, and goes on to describe a systematic approach to decision making which can help management assess more objectively the difficult choices confronting them today. The approach does not require espousal of any specific decision theory or method of value measurement. The focus is on the decision making process and the organisation's capacity to handle change. The paper identifies the three requirements for effective decision making.
