APEPE, Victor Mesimevwo MSc

Abstract

The study provides deep insight into organizational decision making which could provide a formidable base for future research into the subject of organizational decision making. Being a conceptual paper, extant literatures were vigorously reviewed and vastly expounded upon highlighting all the aspects of decision making in organizations. Appropriate theory/models were deployed and research findings bordering on the subject matter was exhaustively analyzed. The study concludes among other things that organizations should pay keen attention to its decision making processes and actors with a view of overhauling them from time to time as the need arises. More so, the study recommended among other items that decision makers in organizations must at all times be equipped with the right information as this is the bedrock for effective decision making.
