Ethical, policy and commercial considerations had to be taken care of significantly while making the decision.

Are there other considerations or calculations that should be taken into account before a final decision is made?

Once a decision maker has defined the problem, he or she needs to identify the decision criteria that will be important in solving the problem. In this step, the decision maker is determining what’s relevant in making the decision. This step brings the decision maker’s interests, values, and personal preferences into the process.
