Abstract
Is there a relationship between critical thinking and decision making? In order to answer that question they both must be defined. Arons (1985) defines critical thinking as: "asking questions. (How do we know? What is the evidence?), being aware of gaps in knowledge, distinguishing between fact and conjecture, distinguishing between an idea and the name of that idea and providing definitions, looking for (hidden) assumptions, performing hypothetico-deductive reasoning, knowing inductive and deductive reasoning, intellectual self-reliance, and being aware of our own thinking process".
Harris (1998) defines decision making as: "the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision maker, and the process of sufficiently reducing uncertainty and doubt about alternatives to allow a reasonable choice to be made from among them."
By definitions alone we can see that decision making and critical thinking are linked. Good managerial decisions are dependant on the employment of critical thinking.
