Decision Making Models

Recently in class we have read about decision making stlyes, and in our reading I have learned the best ways to make decisions based on a series of steps. In the decision making model call G.R.E.A.T., you have to do many things when making or resloving your decision, whether it be good or bad. First in GREAT you need to identify your problems, analyze your problem, realize what has happen and how you can resolve it and last put your plan into action. Another decision making model that you can use is the rational decision making process. In this process, you first need to identify a problem, then you generate your possible slutions. Next you need to choose a solution and and implement and evaluate the problem. I think the rational problem solving method would be perfect for teen decisions such as using drugs, drinking or going to a party that you know you should'nt. Another decision making model that I could use is the PLUS decision making model. This model consists of several steps too. First you need to define the problem. Second you identify alternatives, and evaluate your alternatives. Next you make your decision and implement your plan into your decision. Lastly you need to evaluate your decision, and hopefully by using the whole process to take time and carefully make your decision, you make a good decision.

  2. The rational decision making process seems a lot like the GREAT model. But I think the Rational plan fails to mention that you need to weight the pros and cons of all the possible solutions(unless I just didn't catch that...).
    Nice Job, Keep up the good work :)

  3. This model seems like seems like a great way to overcome any obsticle that a person might come across in a life time and I feel if a person were to use this model they will make the right decision every time.
