The purpose of making a decision is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives. The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists， goals or objectives are wrong， or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them.1.made from among alternative courses of action 是过去分词短语作定语courses of action 行动方针that are available 是定语从句，修饰概念短语“行动方针”2.The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists， goals or objectives are wrong， or something is standing in the way of accomplishing them.此句是由that引导的表语从句，表语从句由a problem exist； goals of objectives are wrong；及something is standing in the way of accomplishing them三个并列句构成。The reason for is that 是一个常用的句子。例： The reason for canceling the travel is thatthey lack of money. 取消旅行的原因是他们手头缺钱。The reason why 是另外一个常用的句子。例：There are 3 reasons why they are unwilling to discuss insurance .他们不愿意谈论保险的原因有三个。Para.2Thus the decision-making process is fundamental to management. Almost everything a manager does involves decisions， indeed， some suggest that the management process is decision making. Although managers cannot predict the future， many of their decisions require that they consider possible future events. Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance， but since uncertainty is always there， risk accompanies decisions. Sometimes the consequences of a poor decision are slight； at other times they are serious.3.a manager does是省略that的定语从句，修饰先行词everything当先行词为everything， something， anything， nothing等不定代词时定语从句引导词不可用which， 此句的后半部分 some suggest that 是宾语从句suggest v. 认为，提出，建议（其后的宾语从句多用于虚拟语气）4.although conj.“虽然，尽管”引导让步状语从句例如：Although my car is very old，it still runs very well .虽然我的汽车很旧，但是仍然跑得很好。require vt. 要求，需要 后边由that引导一个宾语从句5.Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be and try to leave as little as possible to chance， but since uncertainty is always there， risk accompanies decisions.make a best guess at 作出最佳猜测，at 表示动作或行为的方向和目标，如：look at （看） ，aim at （瞄准，目的是），throw （a stone） at （向掷石头），shoot at （射击），laugh at （嘲笑）本句中what the future will be 是一个介词宾语从句，（作介词at 的宾语）；to leave sth. to chance “凭运气，听任命运的安排，听其自然发展”“as + 形容词（或副词）+ as possible”意思是“尽可能地； 尽量”。as little as possible 尽可能少I tried to be as friendly as possible. 我尽量地表示友好。Come as quickly as possible. 尽快来。since uncertainty is always there 是一个原因状语从句。risk accompanies decisions .风险伴随着决策6.sometimes at other times 有时 ，而有时则 a poor decision 一个不良决策第二部分Para.3Choice is the opportunity to select among alternatives. If there is no choice， there is no decision to be made. Decision making is the process of choosing， and many decisions have a broad range of choice. For example， a student may be able to choose among a number of different courses in order to implement the decision to obtain a college degree. For managers， every decision has constraints based on policies， procedures， laws， precedents， and the like. These constraints exist at all levels of the organization.7.“选择”三个词的区别：alternative adj.两者或多于两者选一个，供选择的，n.替代物choice 选自己喜欢的，挑出，选出select 选出最好的，筛选、精选8.由 if 引导的条件状语从句， 主句中的不定式被动态 to be made作定语， 修饰decision9.range n. 范围 a broad range of choice 一个很广的选择范围10.For managers， every decision has constraints based on policies， procedures， laws， precedents， and the like.本句中based on 是一个过去分词作定语修饰constraints.be based on 表示“建立在基础上例：The book is based on a true story. 这本书是以一个真实的故事为依据的。He was the first to draw a map that was based on all available knowledge， rather than guess or imagination. 他第一个画出以当时所有的知识为基础的地图，而不是基于猜测和想象。and the like 意思是“等等 （之类的东西）”。例：He studied painting， music， English and the like. 他学习了绘画、音乐、英语等等。11.at all levels “在各个层次”Para.4Alternatives are the possible courses of action from which choices can be made. If there are no alternatives， there is no choice and， therefore， no decision. If no alternatives are seen， often it means that a thorough job of examining the problems has not been done. For example， managers sometimes treat problems in an either/or fashion； this is their way of simplifying complex problems. But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives.12.from which 引导定语从句，修饰 courses of action 行动方针13.a thorough job of examining 一个彻底的考察工作a thorough job是主语，of examining the problems 修饰job，has not been done是句子的谓语。thorough a. 彻底的through prep. 通过，穿过though conj. 虽然，尽管 （ 同although ）thought n. 思想14.For example， managers sometimes treat problems in an either/or fashion ：either /or 意思是“非此即彼；二者择一”。例：We fight， or we don't it's an either/or decision.我们战斗或不战斗-这是二者择一的决定。第三部分Para.5At the managerial level， decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them， and the range is from highly limited to practically unlimited.15.At the managerial level， decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them， and the range is from highly limited to practically unlimited.在as well as 结构中，强调前者 limiting alternatives ，不强调后者译为：作决策包括限定选择和识别选择，或者译成：不仅包括识别选择还要包括限定选择（除了包括识别选择外还有限定选择）practically ad. 实际上，事实上（在口语中译为，几乎，简直）在本文中是几乎的意思。例如：几乎是不可能practically impossiblePara.6Decision makers must have some way of determining which of several alternatives is best - that is， which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals. An organizational goal is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach. Because individuals （and organizations） frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals， the best choice may depend on who makes the decision. Frequently， departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually but that are less than optimal for the larger organization. Called suboptimization， this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function but decreases the advantages to another unit or function. For example， the marketing manager may argue effectively for an increased advertising budget. In the larger scheme of things， however， increased funding for research to improve the products might be more beneficial to the organization.16.An organizational goal is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach.一个省略that或which的定语从句，修饰a state of affairs “事物的状态，事态”to seek to do sth. 追求，争取，寻求，设法（去做某事）17.Because individuals frequently have different ideas about how to attain the goals， the best choice may depend on who makes the decision.本句中，because 引导了原因状语从句；在主句中，who makes the decision 是作depend on 的介词宾语从句。18.Frequently， departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually but that are less than optimal for the larger organization.两个that引导的都是定语从句，修饰decisionsless than 在此做状语，表示否定的含义， less than optimal “不太理想”例如：This job is less than perfect. 这份工作不十分理想（完美）。19.this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function but decreases the advantages to another unit or function.that引导定语从句，修饰trade-off “权衡”increases 和 decreases 是定语从句的并列谓语Para.7These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives that organizations wish to attain simultaneously. Some of these objectives are more important than others， but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department. Different managers define the same problem in differentterms. When presented with a common case， sales managers tend to see sales problems， production managers see production problems， and so on.20.These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives that organizations wish to attain simultaneously.Because 引导的原因状语从句中，有一个that引导的定语从句，修饰many objectives21.Some of these objectives are more important than others， but the order and degree of importance often vary form person to person and from department to department.vary from to 表示各不相同的意思。例：The percentage varies from person to person. （税收的） 比例因人而异。22.When presented with a common casepresented with 面对过去分词短语前面加上when作时间状语。为了表示明确的时间或条件，有时常在分词前面加上when， while， even if ， even though ， unless 等连词作时间、条件、让步等状语。 （详见语法要点）Para.8The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based， in part， on the values of the decision maker. Such values are personal； they are hard to understand， even by the individual， because they are so dynamic and complex. In many business situations different people's values about acceptable degrees of risk and profitability cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.23.The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based， in part， on the values of the decision maker.be based on 基于，取决于in part 部分地，在某种程度上对于多项目标的排序和重要性，部分地基于决策者的价值观。24.different people's values about acceptable degrees of risk and profitability cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.两个about都是介词短语作定语，修饰前边的名词不同人关于风险和收益可接受程度的价值观，导致了对于决策正确性的不同意见。Para.9People often assume
