When are managers called on to make decisions? Some may answer: "All day, every day". And it would be difficult to disagree with such a response. From the moment we start work, managers have to make decisions about "who" is going to do "what", "when" they are going to do it and "how" they are going to do it.

Having decided this and having taken steps to implement it, things then often start to go wrong. As a result we have to make decisions aimed at overcoming problems. The solutions to problems aren't always black and white. There often isn't one solution, but many.
To further complicate the issue, it is often going to be more difficult to put into practice decisions as opposed to making or formulating decisions.
Therefore, if we are going to effectively address the topic of decision making, we have to cover:
- The different types of decisions likely to be made (planning and problem solving decisions)
- The process of formulating decisions
- Implementing the decisions
