A descriptive approach to decision making and the decision-making style

The scientific monograph provides in-depth coverage of the theory of decision making from a descriptive perspective, concentrating on decision-making style, the way of thinking, and information gathering. In the decision-making process, it is essential that a decision maker with a particular style bears responsibility for the decision and also for its subsequent implementation and control of the achieved results. The decision-making style in the conditions of uncertainty allows us to use an innovative approach to judging and decision making. On that principle, a new direction was created – the descriptive: Where researchers focused on examining relationships in decision-making, given factors that influence decision-making from a personal point of view. Here belong values, delaying decisions, degree of certainty, intuition, style of decision making, quality and availability of information or emotional intelligence. Ing.
