Reducing Complexity and Risks in Public Decision Making
This paper discusses the complex issues and considerations surrounding the public decisionmaking process as well as approaches and solutions to address them. It first explores the factors that contribute to the uncertainty and risks in public decision making, and the dilemmas and frustrations that challenge todays public servants. Then, it focuses on how to make sound public decisions, first by elucidating the inevitability and necessity of exercising administrative discretions, and then by analysing the mechanisms of decision-making including determinants of a sound public decision, measures for avoidance of risks and uncertainties and resolutions of conflicts. It concludes that both quantitative and qualitative approaches may have to be utilized to ensure rationality and effectiveness of considerations, on the basis of which recommendations are to be made as to how to achieve fair and sound judgment and decisions, which aim to be ethical, legal, risk-free, socially and economically viable.
