| Abstract: | It has been suggested that the manner in which a project manager makes decisions can significantly influence his or her effectiveness and ultimately the design of systems under the manager's direction. In this paper, a group of more than 200 project managers from across the United States is surveyed. There is the attempt to measure their decision making styles, especially in relation to project management activity. The survey identifies, among other things, a person's propensity towards brain dominance, and a preferred management level of decision making. The results of this study indicate that though each project manager is unique, as a group project managers are well-rounded and tend to solve problems utilizing a 'whole-brained' approach. |
