Programmed and Unprogrammed Decisions

The video tutorial explains the difference between programmed and unprogrammed decisions. Programmed decisions are routine and repetitive, requiring little mental effort and following a predetermined course of action. In contrast, unprogrammed decisions are novel and non-recurring, often based on incomplete information, requiring a formal decision-making process involving analysis, identification of alternatives, and implementation.

What characterizes a programmed decision?

• It is routine and repetitive.

• It requires a formal decision-making process.

• It is based on incomplete information.

• It is novel and non-recurring.

Which of the following is true about unprogrammed decisions?

• They are made with complete information.

• They often involve analyzing and comparing alternatives.

• They are routine and require little thought.

• They follow a predetermined course of action.

What is a key difference between programmed and unprogrammed decisions?

• Unprogrammed decisions are often novel and require analysis.

• Programmed decisions require more cognitive effort.

• Unprogrammed decisions are based on well-understood scenarios.

• Programmed decisions involve a formal decision-making process.

Which decision type is typically made with incomplete information?

• Programmed decision

• Neither programmed nor unprogrammed decisions

• Unprogrammed decision

• Both programmed and unprogrammed decisions
