Some decisions are made alone or with input from a small group. Which statement about the decision process is true?

• A. All decisions must be made by everyone affected.
• B. Some decisions are made alone or with input from a small group.
• C. Decisions should never involve others.
• D. Only the CEO makes decisions.

Answer: (B)

Decision-making authority varies; some decisions are made by individuals, others with input from a small group. This is true because many decisions can be handled by a single person when the impact is limited or speed is essential, while other decisions benefit from the expertise and perspective that a small group can provide. Routine operational choices or urgent responses are often decided alone, whereas budget choices, policy updates, or project directions may involve a small team to ensure feasibility and buy-in. Involving everyone affected can be impractical and slow, and relying only on a CEO ignores the way authority is often delegated in organizations. So, the accurate statement reflects that some decisions are made alone or with input from a small group.
