of another phase of life. It is time to plan his future career. He doesn’t want to do any job. He
want to do business but how and what business?
Talal is confused about what kind of business should he start, traditional or e-commerce?

father’s or brother’s business or he should do his own. He is also considering the financial

Step 1: Defining and Clarifying the Question (1 Mark)
Step 2: Develop mind mapping for the alternative (2 Marks)
Step 3: Generating Alternatives (1 Mark)
Step 4: Variables to consider (1 Mark)
Step 5: Weighing the considerations (2 Mark)
You may notice that the variables to consider are not of equal importance. Therefore, you
need to weigh how important each variable is before you make your decision. In this activity,
the following rating scale can be used:
5
Very important
4
Considerably important
3
Neither important nor unimportant
2
Not very important
1
Not important at all
Step 6: Weighing the alternatives (2 mark)
When weighing the various alternatives, how well each alternative fulfills the variables to
consider can be expressed as scores. A different rating scale will be used to assess each
alternative:
+2 very suitable
+1 quite suitable
0 neither suitable nor unsuitable
-1 not quite suitable
-2 not suitable at all
Note: Positive numbers (+2 or +1) indicate that the alternative is able to fulfill the variables,
whereas negative numbers (-2 or -1) denote the opposite.
