Journal Assignment **(( write 90 words))**
- Review the Decision Making Styles box in your textbook.
- Answer the questions after reading it.
Please read *** Decision-Making Styles *** and answer all 3 questions.
Planning: “Weighing the facts.” Considering values, objectives, necessary information, alternatives, and consequences; a rational approach with a balance between thinking and feeling. Impulsive: “Don’t look before you leap.” Little thought or examination; taking the first available alternative. Intuitive: “It feels right.” Automatic, preconscious choice based on inner harmony. Compliant: “Anything you say.” Nonassertive; letting someone else decide; following someone else’s plans. Delaying: “Cross that bridge later.” Procrastination, avoidance, hoping someone or something will happen to avoid making a decision, postponing thought and action. Fatalistic: “It’s all in the cards.” What will be will be; letting the environment decide; leaving it up to fate. Agonizing: “What if?” Worrying that a decision will be the wrong one; getting lost in all the data; overwhelmed by analyzing alternatives. Paralytic: “Can’t face up to it.” One step further than “what if”—complete indecision and fear; accepting responsibility but being unable to act on it. Defaulting: “Playing it safe.” Choosing the alternative with the lowest level of risk. We often use a combination of styles that can further complicate the decision-making process.
1. Which of these approaches to decision making do you use most and least often?
2. Which would you like to use more often? Which would you like to avoid? Why?
3. Consider a current decision in progress (e.g., one you wrote at the beginning of this chapter). Think it through using several of these approaches. Which prove to be most useful?

The type of business that I would start up would be a Concrete Construction Company, the organization of business would be a partnership structure. The first advantage in forming a partnership company would be Ease of formation for the company I would pick two close allies I trust to form the company with together. Another great advantage would be Diversity of skills and expertise with my two allies in the partnership company we would all have different skills that would benefit the company with estimates, advertisements, accounting, and helping overcome obstacles along that path. Flexibility is another good advantage in case of a major all the partners could adapt to change problems in a business. With many advantages with a partnership business there are disadvantages one major disadvantage would be Conflicts between partners that could ruin the company and burn bridges with partners. Conflicts in my business would destroy communication with the main partners and cost the company losses in profits. Dissolving a partnership is another disadvantage for the company meaning my company would have to act fast and adapt to changes if one of my partners leaves the company.
