About the Book

Rather than present decision making strictly as a quantitative science, this text views it as a multidimensional process involving values, psychology, sociology, social psychology, and politics. Using a process model--a focus on the process of a decision rather than the outcome--the book presents a variety of perspectives useful for making and evaluating decisions in all kinds of organizations.
