Decision
(gcide) | Decision \De*ci"sion\, n. [L. decisio, fr. dec[imac]dere,
decisum: cf. F. d['e]cision. See Decide.]
1. Cutting off; division; detachment of a part. [Obs.] --Bp.
Pearson.
[1913 Webster]
2. The act of deciding; act of settling or terminating, as a
controversy, by giving judgment on the matter at issue;
determination, as of a question or doubt; settlement;
conclusion.
[1913 Webster]
The decision of some dispute. --Atterbury.
[1913 Webster]
3. An account or report of a conclusion, especially of a
legal adjudication or judicial determination of a question
or cause; as, a decision of arbitrators; a decision of the
Supreme Court.
[1913 Webster]
4. The quality of being decided; prompt and fixed
determination; unwavering firmness; as, to manifest great
decision.
Syn: Decision, Determination, Resolution.
Usage: Each of these words has two meanings, one implying the
act of deciding, determining, or resolving; and the
other a habit of mind as to doing. It is in the last
sense that the words are here compared. Decision is a
cutting short. It implies that several courses of
action have been presented to the mind, and that the
choice is now finally made. It supposes, therefore, a
union of promptitude and energy. Determination is the
natural consequence of decision. It is the settling of
a thing with a fixed purpose to adhere. Resolution is
the necessary result in a mind which is characterized
by firmness. It is a spirit which scatters (resolves)
all doubt, and is ready to face danger or suffering in
carrying out one's determinations. Martin Luther was
equally distinguished for his prompt decision, his
steadfast determination, and his inflexible
resolution.

Software used to aid management decision making, typically
relying on a decision support database.
[Examples?]
(1995-02-14)
|
decision support database
(foldoc) | decision support database
A database from which data is extracted and analysed
statistically (but not modified) in order to inform business
or other decisions. This is in contrast to an {operational
database} which is being continuously updated.
For example, a decision support database might provide data to
determine the average salary of different types of workers,
whereas an operational database containing the same data would
be used to calculate pay check amounts.
Often, decision support data is extracted from operation
databases.

indecision
(devil) | INDECISION, n. The chief element of success; "for whereas," saith Sir
Thomas Brewbold, "there is but one way to do nothing and divers way to
do something, whereof, to a surety, only one is the right way, it
followeth that he who from indecision standeth still hath not so many
chances of going astray as he who pusheth forwards" -- a most clear
and satisfactory exposition on the matter.
"Your prompt decision to attack," said Genera Grant on a certain
occasion to General Gordon Granger, "was admirable; you had but five
minutes to make up your mind in."
"Yes, sir," answered the victorious subordinate, "it is a great
thing to be know exactly what to do in an emergency. When in doubt
whether to attack or retreat I never hesitate a moment -- I toss us a
copper."
"Do you mean to say that's what you did this time?"
"Yes, General; but for Heaven's sake don't reprimand me: I
disobeyed the coin."
