Managerial Decision Making

This week, we examined a managerial activity that spans all four functional areas: decision making. Our exploration included managerial ethical dilemmas and the specific decisions faced by managers in business today. Compose a 2- to 3-page, APA-formatted paper addressing the following:

Select a manager to which you can speak. This can be someone you know or someone you have learned about through the news, reading, etc. Assess his or her strengths in decision making based on assigned reading concepts/theory. Research can also be supplemented from (but not solely based on) other information from academically credible resources.

Assess that same manager’s decision-making weaknesses using the assigned reading concepts/theory. Research can also be supplemented from (but not solely based on) other information from academically credible resources.

Defend 2–3 recommendations for management performance improvement in decision making based on sound, academically credible concepts and theories from assigned reading and academically credible research.

Assess the manager’s track record for making ethical decisions including at least one example of either an ethical or unethical decision made.

Include an APA-formatted reference list and a title page (these do not count toward the minimum page requirements).
