Abstract
Recent years have witnessed an increase in research on decision-making and factors that affect this process it. The purpose of this article is to discuss the four streams of decision-making approaches, which are Rational, Heuristics and Biases, Fast and Frugal Heuristics, and Naturalistic. Scholars rarely discuss these approaches. The paper spots lighter on evaluating each decision-making approach’s thoughts and claims and finally provides a map of when each method can be used and utilized. The discussion relied on reviewing the interrelated literature examining these approaches.
