Consider the statements about decision making. I: Decision making involves choosing the best alternative from among available alternatives. II: Decision making is required only at the top level of management. Which is correct?
Only statement I is correct. Decision making means choosing the best alternative from those available, and it is performed at every level of management, not just the top. Hence statement II, which restricts it to top management, is incorrect.
- ABoth I and II are correct
- BOnly I is correctCorrect
- COnly II is correct
- DNeither I nor II is correct
Explanation
Decision making is the selection of a course of action from alternatives, and it is done at all levels of management, though the nature of decisions differs. Statement II is therefore wrong, since managers at every level take decisions.
