Your Task:
EasyJet’s CEO Johan Lundgren speaks in his statement of May 2020 of “very difficult decisions which will impact
our people”. First, discuss shortly what is meant by the term ‘decision making’, identify types of business decisions
and classify the decision that Johan Lundgren has to make. Second, a variety of approaches have been offered to
suggest ideally how people make decisions, such as rational, bounded-rational, intuitive, emotional or evidencebased decision-making. Evaluate these different approaches of decision-making and argue which approach or
approaches you consider most adequate “to reduce staff numbers by up to 30%”. Third, putting your-self into the
shoes of Johan Lundgren, list and summarize the factors influencing the decision at easyJet and pro-vide sound
arguments on what your decision would be as CEO of easyJet.
