Answer:

Decision making is gathering information and assessing some resolution ,thoughtful decision making can help in a good way.

Pros in public sector –Decisions making individually are more focused than as compared to group. In terms of working hours ,you work less and earn more. In public sector workers get higher salaries because they come together to negotiate of salary increase without delay. An example is KNUT this institution have their leaders that helps in the case of tackling the arising issues e.g salary increment.

Cons in public sector these are the disadvantages of involving stakeholders in public sector some bring some disagreements ,everyone has its own decision and are insisting to follow his or her wrong decision.

An example are any groups formed ,there arise many complaints that become part of it, as it remain stable at the end of the complaints.

Risk of involving stakeholders in public sector –is those stake holders may change in the process while making decision leaving it halfway, this problem will cause risk because there is no beginning and the end of decision that was on the process.

There are many organizations that have grown fully with good diligence (putting more effort) in decision making by gathering and analyzing individual decision and put together in table of discussion to rule out ones which are of less importance to their organization.
