Study Notes
Problem Solving and Decision Making
- Problem solving is a systematic process that involves analyzing a difficult situation.
- Problem solving always includes a decision-making step, which is an essential part of the process.
- While problem solving and decision making are often used interchangeably, there is a key difference between the two.
Key Distinctions
- Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in problem solving, making it a more limited process.
- Problem solving, on the other hand, involves identifying the root problem in a situation, which requires more time and energy.
- The focus of problem solving is on understanding the underlying issue, which sets it apart from decision making.
