Question 1: Different cultures have different ways of decision making. How cultural differences affect the decision making of managers. Discuss.
Answer:
The rational model makes no acknowledgment of cultural differences. We need to recognize that the cultural background of the decision maker can have significant influence on:
- selection of problems
- depth of analysis
- the importance placed on logic and rationality
- whether organizational decisions should be made autocratically by an individual manager or collectively in groups
Cultures, for example, differ in terms of time orientation, the importance of rationality, their belief in the ability of people to solve problems, and preference for collective decision making.
