How to use 决策

决策 is a formal word used for important decisions by governments, companies, or leaders. It works as a noun and also as a verb meaning to make policy. Example: 公司的决策很重要。(Gōngsī de juécè hěn zhòngyào.) The company's decisions are very important.

决 (jué) means to decide, as in 决定 (juédìng). 策 (cè) means a plan or strategy, so 决策 (juécè) is deciding on a plan.

Common mistake: Learners often use 决策 for everyday choices, like what to eat. For small personal decisions, use 决定 (juédìng) instead, since 决策 sounds formal and strategic.
