Research topic: "How do the factors influencing programmed and nonprogrammed decision$-$making processes differ, and how do these differences impact the effectiveness of decision outcomes?"

Thesis$/$topic sentence: $"$In the realm of organizational decision$-$making, programmed and nonprogrammed decisions are

influenced by distinct factors such as the level of uncertainty, complexity, and repetitiveness of

the situation. The differences in these influencing factors significantly impact the effectiveness of

decision outcomes, with programmed decisions often leading to more consistent results due to

their structured nature, while nonprogrammed decisions, though less predictable, can potentially

yield innovative solutions in complex and uncertain scenarios."
