Decision making is a process that plays an
important role in our daily lives. Some decisions are not that important whereas other important decisions, when carefully carried out, can change the course of our lives. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the decision making process regarding my move to Australia for the Masters program. "The process of decision making involves making a choice among different courses of action and entails a cycle of activities and events that begins with identification of a problem and ends with the evaluation of implemented solutions" (John Campling, 2006). The process of decision-making can be categorized into programmed (routine) or non-programmed (strategic) decision making (Christensen, 1968). A programmed decision is one that we use in our everyday lives and are applied to recurring, routine problems that are often anticipated. Here we use information from past experiences to solve problems that we are quite familiar with (John Campling, 2006) . Non programmed decisions usually solve problems that are unanticipated and occur less often and rely on personal attributes such as intuition, creativity, experience, judgment etc (Christensen, 1968). Here people must identify the problem and act after assessing plausible alternatives. It usually requires creativity which helps in creating and evaluating alternatives and readiness to take risk which allows us to choose an alternative (Lipicnik, 2002). The type of decision I made was a non-programmed decision because it was applied to a problem that was not a recurring one. It was an issue that I had never dealt with before so I could not draw from my past experiences to resolve the issue and had to rely on my personal attributes such as judgment, and intuition. After completing my undergraduation in Biology in May 2010, I decided to move into a business related field as it has better job prospects. While I was searching for my options, my cousin told me about a Masters degree in Corporate Environmental and Sustainability Management being offered at Monash University in Melbourne. I became interested in the course and started to find out more about it by emailing the course director and consulting with other people. After receiving a lot of positive feedback from people about this course/field, and after consulting with my parents I decided to take the plunge and move to Melbourne.
INTRODUCTION: TEAMWORK
Teamwork is about galvanizing a group of people towards a common objective while simultaneously addressing the head yet appealing to the heart. Teamwork is also about bringing the best out of each individual in the pursuit of a collective goal deemed worthy of being realized.
Therefore, according to Jon Katzenbach (a published author and consultant who is best known for his work on theinformal organisation.), ‘a teamis a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.'
IMPORTANCE OF TEAMWORK IN ORGANISATION
A challenging business climate needs to be engaged by effective teamwork. It provides an opportunity to come together and establish a common ground for the fulfillment of specific objectives. Empathy, appreciation and encouragement are some of the critical ingredients of effective teamwork. The vision must be bold, stir the intellect and yet move the heart. What is at stake needs to be clearly spelled out.
Alcorn (2006) provides a definition of a team from 1886, which defines a team as "work done by several associates, with each doing a part but all subordinating personal prominence to the efficiency of the whole." In a simple context, this means that a team is a collective whole of people that work together so that they are more productive. The key for any organisation is to possess a team that can be defined using Alcorn's provided definition. A team isn't a team simply because a company pulls a group of workers together and calls them a team, but instead as a result of careful planning, hard work, and constant tweaking of team processes on a continuous basis.
