Shue-Willis MGT/350 Critical Thinking: Strategies in Decision Making Christopher Robus March 15, 2012 Thinking Critically Simulation Review There are several problem-solving tools and techniques that was used and can be used within the simulation. Each team member described the evaluation tools and techniques that were applied. Each team member described how the techniques assisted with his or her evaluation of decision-making process and outcomes. The outcome reached in the simulation depended on the individual and the choice that was made and the changed in the person’s decision-making techniques that would have generated better results. Critical thinking tools have been created to help make the critical thinking process easier. Many people apply the critical thinking tools differently. The way the tools are applied, based on the individual applying the tools, depends on the situation or the job that was performed. In the thinking critical simulation the problem evaluation tools and techniques used are framing the problem, making the decision, and evaluating the decision. These three tools also can be broken down into steps. When framing a problem the main focus is to identify the problem, determine the desired criteria and goals, and evaluate the effect of the problem. Making the decision can be looked at as identifying the causes of the problem, thinking of alternatives to handle the problem, thinking of the impact of the alternative decision, and making the decision. When evaluating the decision the main focus is to measure the impacts of the choices made and implement the decision. In this situation Cedrick would have used the techniques he, learned from the military to help with the decision making. He would look at the problem given to him from different
