Consider these statements about decision making. I. Decision making involves choosing one course of action from among available alternatives. II. If there is only one possible course of action, there is still a genuine decision to be made in the managerial sense. Which is correct?
Only statement I is correct. Decision making is the process of choosing the best course of action from several alternatives. When only one course of action exists, no choice is available, so it is not a decision in the managerial sense.
- ABoth I and II are correct
- BOnly I is correctCorrect
- COnly II is correct
- DNeither I nor II is correct
Explanation
Decision making means selecting the best option from two or more alternatives. Where only one course is possible, there is no choice, so no real decision arises; hence statement II is wrong.
