Decision making is about what to do, how, and why. But, it’s also about decision making approaches, about logics. Ok. Got it. So what are the key characteristics of German decision making?
决策是关于做什么，如何做，以及为什么做。但是，它也是关于决策方法，关于逻辑的。好的。明白了。那么，德国决策的主要特点是什么？
Scope
Because Germans think systematically, they view a decision in its broader and interconnected context. The scope of the decision is wider. German decision making, therefore, necessarily means making several decisions at the same time.
范围
因为德国人有系统地思考，他们在更广泛和相互关联的背景下看待一个决策。决策的范围更广。因此，德国人的决策必然意味着在同一时间做出几个决定。
Analysis
Germans regard an individual step in the decision making process as completed only when all relevant information has been gathered and analyzed with the help of rigorous analytical tools. Germans are scientific. They are skeptical of intuition.
分析
德国人认为，只有当所有相关信息都被收集并在严格的分析工具的帮助下进行分析时，决策过程中的单个步骤才算完成。德国人是科学的。他们对直觉持怀疑态度。
Resources
Germany is not, and never was, a country abundant in resources. Germans strive to be economical. In what they make, in how they make it, and in how they use it. Suboptimal decisions require modification, which in turn draws on resources. Germans do their best to get a decision right the first time. Because that’s economical.
资源
德国不是，也从来不是一个资源丰富的国家。德国人努力做到经济实惠。在他们制造的东西，他们如何制造，以及他们如何使用它。不理想的决定需要修改，这反过来又会耗费资源。德国人尽力在第一次就做出正确的决定。因为那是经济的。
Time
Germans believe that the time allotted to a decision should be determined by the nature of the decision. And not dictated by either internal or external pressures. But rather by the internal rhythm of the decision making process. Germans believe that a good decision making process leads to good decisions.
时间
德国人认为，分配给一个决策的时间应该由决策的性质决定。而不是由内部或外部的压力所决定。而是由决策过程的内部节奏决定的。德国人相信，一个好的决策过程会导致好的决策。
Risk
Germans believe that an intelligent and correct decision, in line with the essence of the situation, both farsighted and aimed towards the future, is a decision which provides continuity, ensures quality and minimizes risk.
风险
德国人认为，一个明智而正确的决定，符合形势的本质，既要有远见，又要面向未来，是一个能够提供连续性、确保质量和将风险降到最低的决定。
