IMPACT OF BEHAVIOR ON DECISION MAKING

A manager being a human being, behaves in a peculiar way in a given situation. The response of one manger may not be same as that of two mangers as they differ in behavior platforms.

The mangers differ in their approach towards decision making in the organisation and therefore classified into two categories:

  • Achievement oriented managers:Such type of mangers always looks for excellence.They always opt for the best and enterprising in every aspect of decision making. He will endeavor to develop all possible alternatives. He would be scientific and therefore more rational.
  • Task oriented managers:Such type of managers looks for completion of the task somehow. They are not interested in identifying various new alternatives.

Managers personal values will definitely influence ultimately.Some managers show nature of risk avoidance. They have a conservative approach to decision making,i.e. low risk and no risk. even though decision tools are available . Choice of tools depends on the motives of the manager.Behavior is also influenced by position he holds in the organization. Fear and anxiety that personal image may be tarnished and career prospects in the organization may be spoiled due to defeat or failure.Manager behavior is mix of personal values, atmosphere in the organization, motives and motivation and resistance to change.

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
