The decision-making process is theoretically clearly
\r\ndefined. Generally, it includes the problem identification and
\r\nanalysis, data gathering, goals and criteria setting, alternatives
\r\ndevelopment and optimal alternative choice and its implementation.
\r\nIn practice however, various modifications of the theoretical
\r\ndecision-making process can occur. The managers can consider some
\r\nof the phases to be too complicated or unfeasible and thus they do not
\r\ncarry them out and conversely some of the steps can be
\r\noverestimated.
\r\nThe aim of the paper is to reveal and characterize the perception of
\r\nthe individual phases of decision-making process by the managers.
\r\nThe research is concerned with managers in the military environment
\r\n– commanders. Quantitative survey is focused cross-sectionally in the
\r\nindividual levels of management of the Ministry of Defence of the
\r\nCzech Republic. On the total number of 135 respondents the analysis
\r\nfocuses on which of the decision-making process phases are
\r\nproblematic or not carried out in practice and which are again
\r\nperceived to be the easiest. Then it is examined the reasons of the
\r\nfindings.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] J. Fotr, J., \u0160vecov\u00e1, L., Mana\u017eersk\u00e9 rozhodov\u00e1n\u00ed: postupy, metody a\r\nn\u00e1stroje. Praha: Ekopress, 2010.\r\n[2] L.
