However, you have enough understanding to know how likely each option is to be successful. It is this likelihood or probability of each of the options that a manager needs to take into account and apply experience, expertise, and gut feeling to the process of decision-making. The recent pandemic outbreak has dramatically altered the business landscape globally.
Today, decision-making has become more complicated due to the uncertainty all around us. Yet, there is a lot of uncertainty as the operational procedures and customer behavior has become unpredictable. Hence, you are compelled to undertake decision-making under uncertainty.
However, decisions under uncertainty are different from decision-making under risk. In the latter case, you are not even aware of all the options you have, the risks that each alternative poses, and the outcomes of all of these options. In fact, you are not even aware of the probabilities when you opt for decision-making under risk.
It becomes imperative for managers to use their experience and make assumptions about the situation and the outcomes while making decisions under uncertainty. However, they have to rely less on their individual judgment while indulging in decision making under risk.

Ascertainment It can be measured It cannot be measured. Outcome Chances of outcomes are known. The outcome is unknown. In the ordinary sense, the risk is the outcome of an action taken or not taken, in a particular situation which may result in loss or gain. It is termed as a chance or loss or exposure to danger, arising out of internal or external factors, that can be minimised through preventive measures.
In the financial glossary, the meaning of risk is not much different. It implies the uncertainty regarding the expected returns on the investments made i. Such a risk may include the probability of losing the part or whole investment. Although the higher the risk, the higher is the expectation of returns, because investors are paid off for the additional risk they take on their investments. The major elements of risk are defined as below:.
By the term uncertainty, we mean the absence of certainty or something which is not known. It refers to a situation where there are multiple alternatives resulting in a specific outcome, but the probability of the outcome is not certain.
This is because of insufficient information or knowledge about the present condition. Hence, it is hard to define or predict the future outcome or events.
