On of the major responsibilities of managers everywhere is decision- making. In this article, the author describes the different types of decisions that are made by managers, evaluates the quality of such decisions, and finally examines the time limitation factor and its impact on the decision- making process.
In the first part, the different levels of organization, which have been divisionalized, are presented as follows:
1- Strategic and operational decisions
2- Strauctural and nonstructural decisions
3- Dependent and independent decisions
4- Major and minor decisions
In the second part the quality of the organizational decisions are evaluated. This is affected by such factors as internal and environment, sufficient or insufficient information and the time squeeze factor.
In the third and final part, the author discusses the impact of the time squeeze factor on the process of decision- making. He states, furthermore, that when the environment is simple, and not complicated, and all the information required is available and on hand, then there is no time limitation factor, and therefore managers can make the decisions which will lead their organization towards its logical targets.
