Briefly discuss the different styles of decision making

 Intuitive Style: Some people are spontaneous by nature and like to decide “on the spot”. Experience and circumstances may sometimes support this type of problem solving approach. However, those who consistently use this style are – admittedly – comfortable with the “trial and error”, or “hit and miss” approach. 

Limited Procrastination Style: Not to be confused with never wanting to make a decision, this style involves the delaying of a decision until enough factors have been evaluated and/or enough time has gone by for the situation to stabilize. 

Systematic Style: Involves identifying and evaluating each possible course of action. Of all the decision making styles, this is obviously the most likely candidate for computer based decision making tools. 

Individualistic Style: Some individuals prefer to research and arrive at a decision on their own, without any active input from others. 

By Consensus Style: Applies to decisions that have to, or should preferably, be arrived at as a group.
