Answer 1

Answer:

Programmed decisions.

Explanation:

Decision-making is a process of selection from a set of alternative courses of action,which is thought to fulfill the objectives of the decision problem more satisfactorily than others.

Decision making can be regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a course of action among several alternatives. Every decision making process produces a final choice.

Types of Decision Making:

• PROGRAMMED DECISIONS : A programmed decision is one that is fairly structured or recurs with some frequency.

A decision that is repetitive and routine, in which a definite method for its solution can be established. Examples: pricing standard customer orders, determining billing dates, recording office supplies etc.

• NON-PROGRAMMED DECISIONS : Non-programmed decisions are relatively unstructured and may occurs much less often. They are made in response to situations that are unique, are poorly defined and largely unstructured.
