Dear DUSA Members and Friends,


A big thank you for supporting the Brown Bag "Lunch and Learn" Sessions in the past months and we are delighted to present you the new round of brown bag talks from DUSA Annual Partner: International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). 


In this new round of brown bag talks, there will be six sessions with timely, concrete and practical topics concerning management. 

We are delighted to invite you to attend the fifth session "How to Make Your Next Big Decision" on August 12th, 2020. 

The Fifth Session

Topic: How to Make Your Next Big Decision


Our entire lives are structured around making decisions. Every day we make simple choices, like what to wear to work or what time to wake up, that doesn't cause us too much stress. Yet bigger decisions - ones that could change or impact our livesโ€” can be a source of significant anxiety.


People approach those big decisions in different ways: some use a more rational approach trying to analyze each alternative and choosing the most preferable according to define criteria, other prefer to go instinctively in a more irrational way.


In reality, there is not a clear separation among these two approaches because it is in human nature to include both instinct and reasoning.


What makes the difference are other elements which are the time, the availability of information, the previous experience and all of these elements combined are part of the decision making process.


Not only our "process" but also of those people we are dealing with. Therefore, knowing more about how people take decision means also to be able to direct their decision up to the point we want!
