1. Describe the difference between programmed and nonprogrammed decisions. What are the implications of these differences for decision makers?

The main difference of them is that the programmed decisions faced repetitive problems when the other does not.

Explanation:

On one hand, the programeed decisions are those that involve repetitive scenarios with problems that already happended once, therefore that the person that takes these kind of decisions does not need to prepare a new method or technique in order to face the problem, instead that person just need to follow a method that was previous designed for that type of situation.

On the other hand, the nonprogrammed decisions are those complete opposite to the programmed decisions, that comprehends that those type are commonly used in the decision making process when dealing with a new problem that has never occured before and therefore that it needs planning and structuring of a new method to solutionate the problem.

To sum up, the implications that those differences, allegated before, do to the decision maker is that in the programmed decisions the person who takes the decision does not need to plan or structure any new method to face the problem, meanwhile in the nonprogrammed decisions the person does obligatorily need to structure a method to resolve the problem.
