The word best, of course, implies effectiveness. Effec-

tive decision making requires that the decision maker

understands the situation driving the decision. Most

people would consider an effective decision to be one

that optimizes some set of factors, such as profits, sales,

employee welfare, and market share. In some situations,

though, an effective decision may be one that minimizes

loss, expense, or employee turnover. It may even mean

selecting the best method for going out of business, lay-

ing off employees, or terminating a strategic alliance.

We should also note that managers make decisions

about both problems and opportunities. For example,

making decisions about how to cut costs by 10 percent

reflects a problem—an undesirable situation that

requires a solution. But decisions are also necessary in

situations of opportunity. Learning that the firm is

earning higher-than-projected profits, for example,

requires a subsequent decision. Should the extra funds

be used to increase shareholder dividends, reinvest in

current operations, or expand into new markets?

5

Of course, it may take a long time before a manager can



know if the right decision was made. For example, in late

2008 and early 2009, government leaders made the deci-

sion to invest billions of dollars in failing financial institu-

tions and other businesses. It will be years—or perhaps

decades—before economists and other experts will know

if those were sound decisions or if the United States would

have been better off by allowing those businesses to fail.
