Frank Yates has a profound understanding of decision-making behavior. In this book, he creatively proposes practical methods to improve management decisions. This book should be the book for those who want to make better decisions, and it should also be a must-read for business school students dedicated to enhancing future leadership and judgment skills. The book first discusses what decision management is. It points out that every practical decision requires solving 10 important decision-making issues first. These issues include a series of critical elements, from whether a decision is needed to ensuring the implementation of the decision. If a company makes an excellent decision, it means its decision-makers have effectively addressed the 10 important decision-making issues in the decision at hand. After introducing some key concepts and tools, the core part of the book elaborates on these 10 important pre-decision issues in detail. Real-life examples are used to explain these 10 critical decision-making issues, and basic principles and decision management techniques that managers can apply in their own management practices are provided based on these cases.
