Summary
Every day people are faced with the need to make decisions. Decision-making, encompasses an array of processes some of which have been the subject of extensive investigations. Studies of decision making have revealed numerous versions of the decision-making process that depend both on internal factors and the organization’s context. Examples of such studies are the effect of economic factors on decision-making (Starmer, 2000; Tversky & Thaler, 1990), the effects of political factors (Bianco, 1984; Dorff & Steiner, 1981; Hanson, 1970), the effects of social factors (Myers, 2000; Sturn, 1999; Prechel, 1994), as well as the effect of psychological factors (Ravlin and Meglino, 1987; Rowe, Boulgarides, McGrath, 1984; Gelatt, 1962).
