A person very often faces situations where he/she has to decide/choose among two or more alternative courses of action. These are called as decision making situation. An illustration of such a situation would be the point of time when you possibly took the decision to read this post or while initiating an argument with some one. In any case you have depending upon your own decision making process, made the decision. Here are my notes of study on the decision making process.

Decision making is a way of reconciling desirable and realizable. The decisions may be of strategic, operating, with routine and programmable or without it. All these steps are critical in decision making, however evaluation and selection steps play a fairly important role in the decision making process.
