In reality, however,decisions are made with limited rationality or using heuristic methods. The right decisions arethe basic factor affecting the condition of an enterprise and determining its development. Typically, the decisions made are influenced by the decision-maker's personality, experienceand emotions. However, in professional life, decisions are also influenced by formal and legalregulations and rules as well as the rules and methodology adopted in a particular company.By confronting the ways in which decisions are made in both professional and personal life, itis possible to infer the tendencies that drive decision-makers.
