I think .. The factors that influence the decision-making: 1. The basis for the decision. 2. Environment with decision-making. 3. respects psychological (mental) to the decision maker. 4. The timing of the decision. 5. involvement of stakeholders and professionals in the decision. 6. administrative efficiency in decision-making. 7. The way they take their decision. 8. communication channels .. Thank you for the invitation

Obviously lots of things take place inside your brain as you make a decision. What I found really interesting were the various things that affect our brain’s decision-making process without us ever realizing.   Making decisions is something we do every day, so I wanted to find out more about how this process works and what affects the choices we make. It turns out, there are some really interesting ways our decisions are affected that I never would have guessed. Luckily, we can take action to improve most of these. How to make better decisions

Since we have all of this information, let’s see how we can put it to use and make better decisions.

1. Make your decisions in the morning

With a combination of serotonin and dopamine levels, and no decision fatigue to get you down, the morning is the best time to make big decisions. If you do have to make big decisions in the afternoon, you could try taking a nap or just a relaxing break to reset your brain first.

2. Eat first

We know all about not doing the grocery shopping on an empty stomach, right? Well it seems like we don’t want to make any decisions when we’re hungry if we can avoid it. Try to keep your physical desires taken care of before meetings or phone calls when you’ll be called on to make some big choices.

3. Cut down your choices

We often settle for default options or let others decide for us because decisions are just too much work for our brains. This is particularly so when there are more than two options to choose from. You can help your brain out by cutting out any extra options you don’t need. Cut your choices right down to a tiny shortlist and you’ll have an easier time of making a final decision.

4. Open the windows

Keeping the CO2 levels low in your home or workspace is really important for all cognitive functions, not just decision-making. Adding plants will certainly help, but try to keep fresh air circulating as well, particularly in high-traffic areas where lots of people are around, contributing to the CO2 levels.

5. Use a foreign language

If you know one, this could be really useful. Particularly when there are lots of emotions involved, or you want to protect yourself against things like emotional marketing strategies. Try explaining the situation to yourself and replying with your decision in a foreign language and see how differently you process that information.

Thanks for invitation,

The main factors that are influencing the decision process are: 

1- The organizational's vision, mission and main strategic plan.

2- The decision 's objective.

3- Internal and External organization's environmental analysis.

4- Competition analysis.

5- Forecasting..
