商品描述

Managers in organisations must make rational decisions. Rational decision making is the opposite of intuitive decision making. It is a strict procedure utilising objective knowledge and logic. It involves identifying the problem to solve, gathering facts, identifying options and outcomes, analysing them, considering all the relationships and selecting the decision.

Rational decision making requires support: methods and software tools. The identification of the problem to solve needs methods that would measure and evaluate the current situation. Identification and evaluation of options and analysis of the available possibilities involves analysis and optimisation methods. Incorporating intuition into rational decision making needs adequate methods that would translate ideas or observed behaviours into hard data. Communication, observation and opinions recording is hardly possible today without adequate software. Information and data that form the input, intermediate variables and the output must be stored, managed and made accessible in a user-friendly manner.

Rational Decisions in Organisations: Theoretical and Practical Aspects presents selected recent developments in the support of the widely understood rational decision making in organisations, illustrated through case studies. The book shows not only the variety of perspectives involved in decision making, but also the variety of domains where rational decision support systems are needed. The case studies present decision making by medical doctors, students and managers of various universities, IT project teams, construction companies, banks and small and large manufacturing companies.

Covering the richness of relationships in which the decisions should and must be taken, the book illustrates how modern organisations operate in chains and networks; they have multiple responsibilities, including social, legal, business and ethical duties. Nowadays, managers in organisations can make transparent decisions and consider a multitude of stakeholders and their diverse features, incorporating diverse criteria, using multiple types and drivers of information and decision-making patterns, and referring to numerous lessons learned. As the book makes clear, the marriage of theoretical ideas with the possibilities offered by technology can make the decisions in organisations more rational and, at the same time, more human.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

管理者在組織中必須做出理性的決策。理性決策與直覺決策相對立。這是一個嚴謹的程序,利用客觀知識和邏輯。它涉及識別需要解決的問題、收集事實、識別選項和結果、分析它們、考慮所有的關係並選擇決策。

理性決策需要支持:方法和軟體工具。識別需要解決的問題需要能夠衡量和評估當前情況的方法。選項的識別和評估以及可用可能性的分析涉及分析和優化方法。將直覺納入理性決策需要適當的方法,將想法或觀察到的行為轉化為具體數據。如今,沒有適當的軟體,溝通、觀察和記錄意見幾乎是不可能的。形成輸入、中間變數和輸出的信息和數據必須以用戶友好的方式存儲、管理並提供訪問。

《組織中的理性決策:理論與實踐方面》介紹了支持廣泛理解的組織理性決策的最新發展,並通過案例研究進行說明。這本書不僅展示了決策過程中涉及的多種視角,還展示了需要理性決策支持系統的多個領域。案例研究展示了醫生、學生和各大學的管理者、IT專案團隊、建築公司、銀行以及大小製造公司的決策過程。

涵蓋了決策應該和必須在其中進行的豐富關係,這本書說明了現代組織如何在鏈條和網絡中運作;它們擁有多重責任,包括社會、法律、商業和道德義務。如今,組織中的管理者可以做出透明的決策,考慮眾多利益相關者及其多樣特徵,納入多樣的標準,使用多種信息和決策模式,並參考眾多的經驗教訓。正如這本書所明確指出的,理論思想與技術所提供的可能性相結合,可以使組織中的決策更加理性,同時也更加人性化。
