Identify the key features of five approaches in decision-making and justify which you
think best explains managers’ decisions. Use examples to support your answer

An ideal answer will demonstrate a coherent understanding of the five approaches to decision making. Answers can go beyond the description of these characteristics and demonstrate an
engagement with more critical accounts of decision-making, not limited to the lecture content or
Moodle materials. The justification of the best approach to explain managers’ decisions will also be
solid and demonstrate an understanding of the limits and possibilities of the different models. The
essay will be well structured, written and argued. The use of examples will be appropriate and clearly
connected to the literature and argument.
