  • Decision Making Criteria

    Criteria are constantly used in decision making. The nature of the decision will often determine the criteria used. People may have their own personal criteria, and often, organizational policies will dictate criteria to be used. In any event, have a clear picture of the criteria you will be using. Criteria can have sub-criteria, too. Every decision problem will have its own criteria. To stimulate your thinking, here are just some of the possible criteria you may use:
