Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular
d d d d d d d d d d d d
course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d

and problem solving.

The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a

consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem

much time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
