Transcript Decision Making Strategies

• On Impulse
– Choose the first alternative with little
thought or examination
• It’s in the Stars
– Let the environment decide for you;
it is up to fate

• Decision by Default
– Someone else decides for you; you only carry
out or accept the decision
• On Hold
– Postpone making a decision by
refusing to think about it or by
not acting; you make a decision
by not deciding

• Overwhelmed
– You are unable to make an
effective decision; you are too
confused to make a deliberate
decision
• Planned
– A logical method is used; all available
information is collected, and the facts are
weighed

• If It Feels Good
– You “feel” that an option is the best one
without studying it; the decision is based on
a hunch
• Least Resistance
– You choose the option which will result in
the least conflict; the easy way out
