AN ARCHETYPAL FOUNDATION OF THE CULTURE OF MAKING MANAGERIAL DECISION

Abstract

Governing of different systems such as countries, regions, and organizations is a complex process that requires a comprehensive approach to decision- making (DM). A dynamic environment complicates DM because of big data, delay in DM, human features, unpredictability of second and third order effects, and other reasons. To deal with the problem of governing in this environment requires applying of a special DM approach.

This approach has to help to visualize, analyze and understand the system, the environment, and their mutual influences. Different philosophies of thinking can create so called DM cultures that are distinguishable, effective, and fundamental. A nature of a DM culture can have an archetypal foundation because it has been formed for centuries and remain relatively stable in time. A DM culture provides comprehensive approach to problem-solving based on a certain unconscious visualization of the desired future and deep understanding of the problem in the given environment.

For public governing it is possible to use DM cultures in order to understand different parts of the system and solve complex problems properly. A DM culture can take in account all elements of the system, the environment, their mutual influence and dynamic of change. Applying of a DM culture can improve sensitiveness and “Emotional Intelligence” of the system. Archetypal foundation of a DM culture provides universal, balanced approach to understand and solve problems and facilitates effective governing. Difficulties to analyze a big data in contemporary environment complicate the decision making process (DMP) and forces making mistakes. The DM culture, as an archetype, encompasses all possible effects in analysis because it is already rooted in the DM framework. This quality can provide effective governing in the changeable and dynamic environment and facilitate better understanding of the competitors. Also, it can facilitate determining a level of delegation of power between the state authority and the civil society for better DMP in given conditions.
