Effective Decision Making

This paper offers a decision making process based on terrorism risk. The purpose of the model is to support effective decision making in order to involve multiple potential targets and countermeasure alternatives. Because of the complexity of the issues and the posible catastrophic consequences of a terrorist attack, it is necesary to use an analytical tool to detect, assess, warn, response, and recovery the critical infrastructure. The perspective taken is that in order to establish priorities for threats and vulnerabilities and to identify and evaluate options for action.

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.

Person Organization Fit

In many military and critical incident situations, teams operate as part of a coalition or collective of other organizations. Interoperation adds complexity to the decision-making process because it brings together organizations with (potentially) disparate (and competing) values, priorities, and organizational practices. This chapter examines the issues of value congruence between the person and the organization. Specifically, it discusses value congruence at a situation-specific level (i.e., how does organizational/personal value congruence affect least-worst decision-making in operation) and also the factors within the organization that can facilitate or hinder effective decision-making. Finally, value congruence is extrapolated to examine the overall effects of “person–organization” fit, especially as it pertains to moral behavior and issues of retention.

Effective Decision Making

The management theory did not develop equally with the changes in technologies. The consequence of this shortcoming is a prevalence of quantitative management which puts an emphasis on the quantitative values. This represents a risk for the sustainable growth. Therefore, the managerial ethics, which biases qualitative values and attitudes, is important for the managers' decision-making. The effective decision-making process is further based not only on the manager's experience, which may lead to a certain routine, but also on the cooperation among the other departments and educational institutions. Furthermore, the successful innovations, which are often an outcome of the systemic and complex decision-making, require to follow certain rules during their implementation. A person may become an initiator, leader, subject or a consumer of the innovation and should be adequately prepared for all these roles. Despite the abrupt development in the technical areas there is not such progress in the humanities. Education is still more focused on the content and form (thus quantity) rather than on the applications and relations (quality).

AbstractThe main purpose of this article is to delimitate the concepts of biosecurity and bioterrorism and to highlight the importance of intelligence in the decision-making process. Biosecurity and bioterrorism are two terms who can be very similar at first view, but they are very different, and they only interconnect at one point, the first one is including the second. The first term biosecurity or biological security can be simply defined as an action taken to prevent a damage from a biological threat and bioterrorism is a form of terrorism which involves the use of a biological weapon. The intelligence in relation with biosecurity and bioterrorism can be defined as a process which is producing an analysis for the organisation. Biosecurity, bioterrorism and intelligence are all interconnected, the last one is the most important because a good intelligence can reduce or even disrupt threats and emergencies by providing an effective decision-making support when is needed. Intelligence has a very important role in managing bio threats only if stakeholders such as scientists, the first responder, clinicians and others are engaged in the process of taking the decision. A good intelligence provides a very important mechanism in understanding the threat and estimating the risk for a better decision to enable a potential biothreat.

Pairwise comparisons have been applied to several real decision making problems. As a result, this method has been recognized as an effective decision making tool by practitioners, experts, and researchers. Although methods based on pairwise comparisons are widespread, decision making problems with many alternatives and criteria may be challenging. This paper presents the results of an experiment used to verify the influence of a high number of preferences comparisons in the inconsistency of the comparisons matrix and identifies the influence of consistencies and inconsistencies in the assessment of the decision-making process. The findings indicate that it is difficult to predict the influence of inconsistencies and that the priority vector may or may not be influenced by low levels of inconsistencies, with a consistency ratio of less than 0.1. Finally, this work presents an interactive preference adjustment algorithm with the aim of reducing the number of pairwise comparisons while capturing effective information from the decision maker to approximate the results of the problem to their preferences. The presented approach ensures the consistency of a comparisons matrix and significantly reduces the time that decision makers need to devote to the pairwise comparisons process. An example application of the interactive preference adjustment algorithm is included.

Effective Decision Making

 This article aims to describe the process of making and effective methods for the dissemination of decision results in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This research uses library research taken from scientific journals and relevant literature. The results showed that the most effective decision making process was a combination of top-down and bottomup with formal decision-making mechanisms or decisions. Decision making formally involves leaders and subordinates and adjusted to the output of the meeting. The dominant dissemination mechanism is traditional dissemination through meetings and through social networks. The implications of the results of this study indicate that the formal process of decision making through public meetings or limited meetings is still the choice of the decision making process so that this traditional model provides space for all elements involved to participate and provide constructive advice for effective decision making.
