Week 3 Skill Building Activity

Q Task 1: Read Chapter 5 and 6 and complete the exercises in your study guide to help you understand the material. Task 2: Using the attached Excel template, complete and upload PR 5-6A and answer the following question: • How could a manager use this information to help make decisions for the company? Create a new discussion topic by clicking the '**REPLY HERE**' post. In your reply, you will post your answers to the Skill Building Activity questions. Your response to the activity questions should be a minimum of 250 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 1000+ words! It is suggested that you use MS Word or another word processing application that can check spelling/grammar and can show the word count. Because this is a skill building activity, it is important that you do your best to evaluate and assess the discussion without bias or judgment. You are expected to properly cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) and incorporate scholarly/peer reviewed sources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your skill building activity topic/posts. Be as thorough as possible when writing your activity topic/posts, and remember, this is an academic assignment, so no “text-talk,” no conversational tone, and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS… don't plagiarize!! Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade. Remember that your first post is what will be graded - any subsequent posts do not receive credit. Unlike Discussion Forums, you are not required to make additional replies to peers in these Skill Building Activities. The Skill Building Activities will use the grading rubric listed in the Important Course Information Section.

Managers are constantly called upon to make decisions in order to solve problems. Decision making and problem solving are ongoing processes of evaluating situations or problems, considering alternatives, making choices, and following them up with the necessary actions. Sometimes the decision?making process is extremely short, and mental reflection is essentially instantaneous. In other situations, the process can drag on for weeks or even months. The entire decision?making process is dependent upon the right information being available to the right people at the right times.
