III. Conclusions
Enhancing one’s capacity to solve problems and make judgments
has become vital in all companies. Problem solving requires
resolving of a conflict between the present circumstance and the
desired goal. Obstacles that produce differences may be known or
unknown. The problem may be wholly novel or the circumstance may
not have a precise known answer.
On the other hand, decision-making involves making a choice
from potential alternatives in order to attain the intended
outcomes or goals. According to Huitt, “the procedures in both
problem solving and decision-making are relatively similar and
the phrases are commonly used interchangeably” (Huitt, 1992).
Knowing the process and flow in issue solving decision making
are a benefit for me who is aiming to be an educational manager
someday. It is very vital for an educational manager to grasp and
comprehend these processes to realize the full potential of the
school.
