* Is the sample representative? Induction or inductive reasoning, sometimes called inductive logic, is the process of reasoning in which the premises of an argument are believed to support the conclusion but do not ensure it. It is used to ascribe properties or relations to types based on tokens (i.e., on one or a small number of observations or experiences); or to formulate laws based on limited observations of recurring phenomenal patterns. Deductive reasoning is dependent on its premises. That is, a false premise can possibly lead to a false result, and inconclusive premises will also yield an inconclusive conclusion.

Fayol vs Mintzberg, who is right? The theoretical models of management presented by Henri Fayol and Henry Mintzberg respectively, bear clear and striking differences in how they explain the “changing nature of management and leadership”(Brooks, 2009). To argue whether the image displayed by Fayol is superior to that of Mintzberg I will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the differing models and compare, as well as with the opinions of other theorists. This will allow me to conclude which image is superior and in what senses the descriptions of management established by Mintzberg are ineffective. In this essay I will argue that while it is clear that the concepts of Fayol have been largely superseded by modern descriptive views such as those of Mintzberg and Kotter, he laid out the foundations so to speak (remove this) that allowed modern thinkers to develop their theories in greater detail.

Then every possible alternative is generated and with their impacts evaluated. Finally the optimal alternative would be chosen.

Also, these two factors can have impacts on the behaviour and rationality of the decision maker.
