Decision Making Model Analysis
Decision Making Model Analysis
Decision-making and critical thinking have a distinct relationship, it is a relationship where one is used as a support tool for the other. Critical Thinking is ... conceptualized as a process of active critical and creative inquiry. It is viewed as a cognitive approach to an active, rational assessment of information... and is based on an awareness and understanding of a set of logical analyses that permit a rational evaluation of arguments.' Decision making is rarely a matter of picking up a single problem and disposing of it in expeditious step-by-step fashion every problem comes with a context it's own history and the host of problems that coexist with it' it is more a process, a sequence of behavior, that stretches back into the murky past and forward into a murkier future it is a …show more content…
Military's means of decision making in times of crisis. This rationalist decision-making model concludes (1) a set of possible outcomes is known; that an expected optimal outcome can be known to a high degree of confidence (2) calculations are based on similar past actions, assuming what affected past performance will similarly affect future performance. (3) Feedback causes corrections within the model for deviations to the plan. An assumption is that a great amount of information will lead to greater convergence or scenario likelyhood.
In other words, greater information lowers ambiguity and uncertainty can be reduced by gathering necessary information. This model relies greatly on the reliability of information gathered. (4) this model presumes to be objective. Criteria are established and weighted mathematically, and the factors are added up, thus reducing the chance for subjectivity to drive the decision The specific outline of the Rational Decision-Making Model contains the following steps, as applied to scenarios outside of the military decision
