Decision Making Model

Managers have a bevy of different decision making models to assist them with running an organization. These models include the classical model, administrative model, and political model. My preferred model for decision making out of these three is the classical model, which is defined to be "based on rational economic assumptions and manager beliefs about what ideal decision making should be." (Daft & Marcic, p. 217) This model follows four underlying assumptions that focus heavily on what I emphasized about the way that I choose to make decisions in my previous post. Primarily, this model follows logic and makes rational decisions that are well formulated and thought through. Although this is seen as the ideal, rational model for most managers and organizations to follow, it is often unattainable in the real world. The biggest weakness of this model is that it does not necessarily describe how managers actually make their decisions, but instead it emphasizes how they should make them. I do not think this is that difficult to overcome because since I am in charge of my own decisions and decision making process, I am able to more effectively follow this model. Moreover, this model can serve as a guideline for decision making in organizations, which will help with the success of the organization.
