    About this ebook

    The thought process which leads to selection of a specific
    course of action while weighing other possibilities is termed as
    decision making. Decision making results in a concluding choice
    –the person taking the decision should be aware of the result
    for each decision taken to ensure that the choice made for the
    specific situation is not wrong. Selection made on the basis of
    alternatives that are based on preferences, beliefs or deductions
    of the decision maker is known as decision making.The decision
    maker tries to weigh all the options and pick the best one as
    a final option. Mostly deciding on things can be easy but
    people encounter several phases in life where they need to
    decide on important matters such as studies, job, marriage,
    investments, business etc. The decision taken for important
    matters as these will impact their lives in future. This is why
    people consider all the pros and cons before taking a decision
    so they may not have to regret about it later.
