Definition
Decision Making:
The cognitive process leading to the
selection of some action among alternatives.
or
The process of examining your possibilities
options, comparing them, and choosing a
course of action.
 Every decision making process produces a
final choice. It can be an action or an
opinion.
 It begins when we need to do something but
we do not know what. Therefore, decision
making is a reasoning process which can be
rational or irrational, and can be based on
explicit assumptions or tacit assumptions.
 Examples:
Shopping, deciding what to eat,
what to wear, when to sleep, etc..

Barriers to GoodDecision Making
"Pemimpin yang sukses memiliki keberanian untuk mengambil tindakan
sementara yang lain ragu."
Barriers to Good Decision Making
 Hasty - Making quick decisions without having much
thought.
 Narrow - Decision making is based on very limited
information.
 Scattered - Our thoughts in making decisions are
disconnected or disorganized.
 Fuzzy - Sometimes, the lack of clarity on important
aspects of a decision causes us to overlook certain
important considerations.
The Decision-Making Process
What is the process
• Identify the problem
• Gather information and list
possible alternatives
• Consider consequences of each
alternative
• Select the best course of action
• Evaluate the results
of the Decision-Making ?
Decision Making Process
Steps Tips
1. Define the decision clearly.  A lot of decision making goes wrong at the starting
point.
 the more specific your definition of the decision is to
made, the clearer will be your analysis and the
likelihood of success.
2. Consider all the possible
choices.
 Successful decision makers explore all of the
possible choices of the situation.
 In fact many of the less obvious choices turn out to
be the most effective ones.
3. Gather all relevant information
and evaluate all the pros and
cons of each possible choice.
 In many cases, we may lack sufficient information to
make an informed decision.
 Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each
choice
4. Select the choice that seems to
best meet the needs of the
situation.
 Synthesize all what you learned in previous steps
and make a conclusion that you believe to be your
“best” choice.
5. Implement a plan of action and
then monitor the results, making
necessary adjustments.
 Once you have selected your best choice, you need
to develop and implement a specific and concrete
plan of action.
 As you begin taking the steps in your plan, you will
discover that adjustments need to be made.

• Problem solving forms part of thinking.
• Considered the most complex of all intellectual functions,
problem solving has been defined as higher-order
cognitive process that requires the modulation and
control of more routine or fundamental skills (Goldstein
& Levin).
• It occurs if an organism or an artificial intelligence system
does not know how to proceed from a given state to a
desired goal state.
• It is part of the larger problem process that includes
problem finding and problem shaping.
• Pemecahan masalah merupakan bagian dari pemikiran dan dianggap yang paling
kompleks dari semuafungsi intelektual.
• Pemecahan masalah didefinisikan sebagai proses kognitif tingkat tinggi yang
membutuhkan modulasi dankontrol dariketerampilan yang lebih rutin atau mendasar
(Goldstein & Levin).
• Itu terjadi jika suatu organisme atau sistem kecerdasan buatan tidak mengetahui
bagaimana melanjutkan dari suatu keadaan tertentu kearah tujuan yang diinginkan.
• Ini adalah bagian dari proses masalah yang lebih besaryang mencakup penemuan
masalah danpembentukan masalah.
“He who asks a question may be a fool for five minutes, but he who never asks a
question remains a fool forever.”
