I read this Dilbert cartoon in an article about an employee that posted it at work then promptly got fired. The best part of the Dilbert cartoon is its ability to use satire to point out true conflicts we experience every day in the business word. This cartoon points out a structural weakness in how decisions are made in a hierarchy reporting structure. Far too often those who know and are effected the most by a decision are involved only indirectly in the decision that ultimately comes from above.
Link to BUS650: One dimension of decision making that we have not discussed in class is... "am I the right person to be making a decision?" When is it more effective to have a highly skilled (ninja) decision maker with limited exposure to the issue making decisions as opposed to less skilled decision maker who intimately knows the problem? I do know I couldn't land a plane safely in the Hudson River (see my previous post)
