Assignment
details:
This week, you
learned about the importance of running important decisions through a
decision-making process in order to make the best decisions for an
organization. This process can also help you make decisions in your personal
life.
Think about a
particular decision that either you or someone close to you needs to make. This
could be almost anything, as long as it involves making a decision with
multiple options.
For example,
suppose you live in an apartment and your small child wants a pet. You work and
go to school, so the pet will be alone for several hours each day. You need to
decide what kind of pet would be best given your circumstances.
Perform the
following tasks:
• Write a paper on
your decision-making process. Include the following elements:
o
A detailed explanation of your
objective – the decision you are trying to make.
o
Relevant information – gather
information you will need to make your decision and provide an explanation of
what it is and how it will help you.
o
A description of the feasible
options – provide an explanation of 2-3 feasible options from which you will
make your decision, noting the strengths and weaknesses of each choice.
o
Make your decision – provide a
detailed explanation of the decision you made and why you think it is the best
choice.
o
Implementation and evaluation
– provide a brief description of how you will implement this decision and
evaluate the success of the choice you made (note: you are not required to
actually implement and evaluate, just discuss how you will do this as part of
the process).
o
Finally, write a one paragraph
reflection on how going through this process to make a personal decision might
help you in a future management role.
• Your paper must be at
least 500 words long.
• Cite any sources using
APA format.
