...Group decision making There are several instances in an organisation when decision-making requires opinions and inputs from more than just one or two people. This is where group decisions come into the picture. Group decision making is a type of participatory process in which multiple individuals acting collectively, analyse problems or situations, consider and evaluate alternative courses of action, and select from among the alternatives a solution or solutions. Some organisations operate with high emphasis on individual decision-making, while others focus on collaboration and group decision-making processes. Either approach can work however it is advisable to understand the pros and cons of each decision-making approach and how they relate to the organisation. The effectiveness of group decisionmaking can be affected by a variety of factors such as the increase demographic diversity in the workforce. Due to this diversity the group may have to over-come social barriers and difficulties in the early stages of group formation and this may slow down the group. However, if the group is managed effectively,it tends to generate a wider variety and higher quality of decision alternatives. Moreover, by tapping the unique qualities of group members, it is possible that the group can generate a greater number of alternatives that are of higher quality than those of an individual. If a greater number of higher quality alternatives are generated, then it is likely that the...

...elements that made this play stand out more than the others that I read. In my essay I will elaborate on these elements to establish how Frost’s poem was to convey a message that can be interpreted so many different ways. “A Road Not Taken” is told in first person point of view which is the start of what gives this poem more of a personal feel. This is the start of how Frost sets up the imagery of the poem. Frost uses a metaphor of the journey of life being compared to two roads that have come to a fork in the road. Each path is described as being equally attractive where the traveler is left to decide which way he should go. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" (from the first stanza), “And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black" (from the third stanza) to create a picture in the reader's mind. (Clugston, 2010) I can see the traveler in this fork making a life decision not knowing where it will take him. He concludes by taking the road less traveled to see where life will take him. Frost paints the picture of this path by saying, “grassy and want wear," (Clugston, 2010) You can imagine that the path is grassy and not paved. It is a woodsy area so you can really get the feel of this path never being walked on. The traveler took a chance, but I also get the sense that even though he has made a decision he will always look back and wonder what would have happened...

The techniques learned in this course will prepare me to analysis choices and come up with the best decision and how to relate it to company goals if needed (Mark Chussil 2005).

When a manager plans, he projects a course of action for further attempting to achieve a consistent co-ordinate structure of operations aimed at the desired results. #Importance of Planning: 1.Planning helps in efficient Use of Resources: All organizations, large and small, have limited resources. The planning process provides the information top management needs to make effective decisions about how to allocate the resources in a way that will enable the organization to reach its objectives.
