Decision making

Different sociological groups have different decision making methods. Methods which are likely to converge on a decision within a finite time interval range from dictatorship to direct democracy to consensus decision making. However, depending on how the methods are implemented in practice, any of these may lead to either no decision being made or to inconsistent decisions being made. Medical decision making is the discipline of formal decision analysis in medicine. External link
