sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions.

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in,

nT

hi

involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization

uO

compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how

iL

ie

similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal,

Ta

that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that

up

s/

worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects.

/g

ro

Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing

om

all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be

bo
ok

.c

affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or
consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its

.fa

ce

relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values

w

together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.

w

w

Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to
choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a
pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more

variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average,
people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once.

A worksheet can be

especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex
relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I

do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training,
pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that
will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between longrange and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision
from short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise
the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful
career?”

The National Automobile Show in New York has been one of the top auto
shows in the United States since 1900. On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people

.fa

ce

looked over the “ horseless carriages”. It was opening day and the first opportunity for the

w

automobile industry to show off its wares to large crowd; however, the black-tie audience

w

w

treated the occasion more as a social affair than as sales extravaganza. It was also on the
first day of this show that William Mckinley became the first U.S Present to ride in a car.
The automobile was not invented in the United States. That distinction belongs to
Germany. Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876.
Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles
in the mid-1880s. But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile.
The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about
automotive products.

By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the
entire car population of the United States at that time. In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an
unknown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal
transportation. Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and
only a quarter of those were gasoline powered. The rest ran on steam or electricity.
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show’s audience favoured
electric cars because they were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away
from streamers, and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor

Wagon Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant
additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that is burned. Many of the 1900

models were cumbersome – the Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example,

nT

hi

steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was

uO

equipped with an automatic starter.

iL

ie

These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable.

Ta

They were basically toys of the well-to-do. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at

up

s/

Princeton University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles

/g

ro

would cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor. However, among the exhibitors at

om

the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford. The cars he exhibited at the 1900

bo
ok

.c

show apparently attracted no special notice. But before the end of the decade, he would
revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford. The Model T, first produced

.fa

ce

in 1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production – the

w

w

assembly line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.

w

Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from 1,000 dollars to 1,500 dollars, or roughly
14,000 dollars to 21,000 in today’s prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than
300 dollars , and soon the price would drop even further. “I will build cars for the
multitudes,” Ford said, and he kept his promise.
