    Decision Making and Problem Solving

    • Decision making and problem solving share a key similarity: both involve identifying and choosing between alternative solutions.
    • In problem solving, solution paths are evaluated and the most suitable one is chosen.

    Decision Types

    • The text mentions two types of decisions: impulsive decisions and reasoned decisions.

    Importance of Reasoning
