The Six-Step Rational Decision-Making Model
1) Define the problem
2) Identify decision criteria
3) Weight the criteria
4) Generate alternatives
5) Rate each alternative on each criterion
6) Compute the optimal decision
![Page 6: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Assumptions of the Model
1) Problem clarity2) Known options3) Clear preferences4) Constant preferences5) No time or cost constraints6) Maximum payoff
![Page 7: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Bounded Rationality
Due to the limited capacity of the mind to be fully rational; decision makers construct simplified models to extract the essential features from complex problems
![Page 10: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Typical Use of Bounded Rationality
Limited list of criteria based on most conspicuous choices
Final solution represents a satisficingsatisficing choice, not an optimum one
Satisficing - first acceptablefirst acceptable choice
![Page 11: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Intuition
Unconscious process created out of distilled experience; resulting in a rapid decision with what appears to be very limited information
![Page 12: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When is Intuition Used?
1) When a high level of uncertainty exists
2) When there is little precedent to draw on
3) When variables are less scientifically predictable
4) When “facts” are limited
5) When facts don’t clearly point the way
![Page 13: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
When is Intuition Used?
6) When analytical data are of little use
7) When there are several plausible alternative solutions from which to choose
8) When time is limited and there is pressure to come up with the right decision
![Page 14: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Implications for Managers
Five suggestions to improve decision making:1) Analyze the situation and adjust to the national
culture and criteria of organization2) Be aware of biases3) Combine rational analysis with intuition4) Do not assume your specific decision style is
appropriate for every job5) Use creativity-stimulation techniques
![Page 17: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Creativity - ability to produce novel and useful ideas
Helps decision maker identify all viable alternatives

Decision Case 1
You are the supervisor of a manufacturing operation that employees 12 workers. Due to a recent crisis, another manufacturing operation in a different part of the plant is short-handed and cannot complete their current task. You have been asked to provide replacement workers for the next three days. All of your workers are equally skilled at the tasks required and all are motivated workers. Further, you know each of them well and are aware of no problems which would interfere with any of your workers moving to this other operation for the time required. You also know that demand on your unit is somewhat low at the moment and you can cover for the loss of three workers without significant overload for your current workers.
![Page 33: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Decision Case 2
You are the manager of a unit consisting of route delivery sales people (e.g.., beer, soda, or bakery delivery). Your sales/delivery force consistently produces good but not stellar results. Your boss has just stormed into your office for the 6th time this month to complain about seeing all the company trucks clustered around a donut shop in the east end of town. He has seen this same group of trucks, all from your unit, at the donut shop repeatedly and thinks it reflects badly on the company. He wants you to do something to change it.

Decision Case 3
You are the Safety and Loss Control Manager for an underground mine. Your mine has had a long and celebrated history of a very low lost time accident rate and has recently completed 1.5 million man hours without a lost time accident. However, in the past little while it has come to your attention that there were three close calls with rock bolts in one section of the mine. You believe this situation needs to be corrected before someone gets injured but there are too many alternatives for the right answer to be obvious. You are the safety person so you don’t understand either the geology or the mechanics of rock bolts. However, the Superintendent has identified you as the person to finalize the plan of response.

Ethics
What is ethics? The right way to behave The law A set of rules The truth The greatest good for the most people
![Page 38: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Ethical Decision Making
Moral Reasoning Capacity Collaboration between moral philosophy and moral psychology
and has been very influential in recent literature. Kohlberg’s six identifiable stages are classified into three levels of reasoning about moral dilemmas: Pre-Conventional - reasoning based on self-interest. The
individual aims to win rewards and avoid punishment.
Conventional - reasoning based on conformity to social norms and expectations such as family or peer-group pressures.
Post-conventional - reasoning based on universal ethical principles, centered on the notion of justice.
![Page 39: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Outcome Based Ethical Principles Beneficence - decisions should maximize potential
benefits and minimize potential harm or risk to others.
Egoism – decisions should maximize benefits to oneself
Justice – decisions should result in a fair and equitable distribution of benefits as well as burdens
Utilitarianism – decisions should result in the greatest good for the greatest number
From Ethical Decision Challenge, Center for Applied Research, 1998
![Page 40: Student Presentations 1.Stephanie Bower 2.Brendan Flynn 3.Michael Giordano 4.Kate Scarcella 5.John Collins 6.Sean Space 7.Eddie Ebrahimi.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649eec5503460f94bfe083/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Rule-Based Ethical Principles Cultural Relativism – do what is consistent with the
laws and norms of one’s own nation Golden Rule – do unto others as you would have
others do unto you Kant’s Categorical Imperative – do what they would
want anyone else to do who was facing the same set of circumstances
Organizational relativism – do what is consistent wit the goals and norms of one’s own organization
Professional ethic – do what would be condoned or supported by one’s professional colleagues and peers
Respect for persons – do what will maintain the autonomy of others
From Ethical Decision Challenge, Center for Applied Research, 1998

1. Sticking to rules to avoid physical punishment
2. Following rules only when it’s in your immediate interest
3. Living up to what is expected by people close to you
4. Maintaining conventional order by fulfilling obligations to which you have agreed
6. Following self-chosen ethical principles, even if they violate the law
5. Valuing rights of others; upholding non-relative values and rights regardless of the majority’s opinion
