Inactive decision making

|
Inactive decision making is when the decider does nothing consequential to make a definite choice. In effect, the choice is to let the problem resolve itself. This approach is quite common in everyday human decision making due to the peculiarities of human nature. However, it is not a rational approach to making decisions, for little or no reasoning is actually done. From a strategic viewpoint, the decider is forgoing opportunities to influence the outcome. Inactive decision making in Public Policy Inactive decision making or Non decision making in public policy is defined as a non-deciding process in which restrictions of the actual decision-making process are made by manipulating the dominant community values, myths and beliefs. This manipulation intention includes political institutions and procedures as well. A case in point, in intentional non decision-making, is when the decision maker obstructs a community initiative to become an issue in institutionalized political procedures with the help of the inequality of dominant values, respected rules and power relations between the groups. This way a decision-making necessity is not born because the situation that should motivate the decision-making process in public policy cannot be established. See Also
