TYPES OF DECISION MAKING:

TYPES OF DECISION MAKING:


Decision making refers to the process of choosing the best option among different alternatives. It can
be classified into various types depending on the situation, level, and approach. The major types are as
follows:

1. Programmed Decision Making:


These are routine and repetitive decisions. They are made in regular situations by following standard
rules and procedures. For example, reordering office supplies when they run low.

2. Non-Programmed Decision Making:


These are new or unusual decisions made for unique problems. They require creative thinking and
customized solutions. For example, launching a new product in an unfamiliar market.

3. Individual Decision Making:


In this type, one person takes the decision alone. It is common in personal matters or small businesses
where only one person is in charge.

4. Group Decision Making:


Here, decisions are made with the help of a group or team. It encourages multiple opinions and helps in
solving complex issues through collaboration.

5. Autocratic Decision Making:


In this method, the leader or manager makes decisions without consulting anyone. It saves time but may
lack input from others.

6. Democratic Decision Making:


This method includes the opinions and votes of group members. It builds teamwork and allows
everyone to participate in the decision-making process.

7. Intuitive Decision Making:


This type is based on instinct or gut feeling rather than facts and data. It is useful when time is short and
quick decisions are needed.

8. Analytical Decision Making:


This approach involves careful analysis of data, facts, and consequences. It is used to reduce risks and
make informed decisions.

9. Strategic Decision Making:


These are long-term, important decisions made by top-level managers. They shape the overall goals
and direction of the organization.

10. Tactical Decision Making:


These decisions focus on short-term actions and are usually made by middle managers to implement
strategies effectively.

11. Crisis Decision Making:


These are urgent decisions made during emergencies. They require fast action to control the situation
and reduce damage.

Conclusion:
These types of decision making can overlap in practice. Depending on the need, situation, and people
involved, different types may be combined to make the best choice.
