A döntéshozatal és annak módja a gazdaság egyik legfontosabb eleme. A mindennapi döntések soha nem a tényleges helyzetek, hanem az észlelt helyzetek alapján születnek. A vezetői döntések előkészítésében, a gazdasági elemzések és az adatelemzések mögött a matematikai ismeretek állnak. Az emberek matematikai problémamegoldási képességét számos külső és belső tényező befolyásolja. Jelen kutatás online kérdőív használatával történő adatfelvételt követő elemzés eredményeit mutatja be a matematikával kapcsolatos attitűdök, a tanulási élmények és a matematikai teljesítmény tapasztalatain keresztül. A kutatás az első lépés a matematika és a döntéshozatal kapcsolatának átfogó vizsgálatában. A kutatás célja a matematikaoktatás jelentőségének megértése a döntési képességek fejlesztésében, amelynek kulcsszerepe van a kritikus gondolkodás és problémamegoldó képesség fejlesztésében.

Decision-making and the way it is done is one of the most important elements of economy. Practice shows that although formal frameworks for decision-making are established in most companies, everyday decisions are never taken on the basis of actual situations, but on the basis of perceived situations. Perhaps not surprisingly, the biggest challenge of the 21st century is how the economic systems that define the national and global supply chain can become sustainable. It is requiring the creation of well-informed choices which based on people’s decision-making skills.

Mathematical knowledge is the essence in the preparation of management decisions, behind the economic analyses, and behind the data analyses. However, few people understand the secret of this knowledge. We have spent in this area of education the most time and effort on, yet it is accompanied by many failures. The skill of people to solve mathematical problems is influenced by several external and internal factors. In the 20th century, much research focused only on external factors, learning and teaching methods or strategies. In fact, internal factors also play a fairly large role in the skill to solve problems, especially mathematical problem solving which is inherently more than a routine application of what is learnt. Therefore, requires a higher level of understanding which in turn can lead to internal conflicts in humans which influence decision making processes in a bad way.

Throughout the history of science, mathematics and mathematical thinking have played a crucial role as symbols of rationality and logical reasoning. In the context of decision-making, mathematics is regarded positively and holds significant importance. It underpins management decisions, economic analyses, and data analysis. However, truly grasping this knowledge remains a challenge for only a select few. Education devotes extensive time (in Hungary, 12 years in general) to this field, yet it is still accompanied by numerous difficulties and shortcomings. This raises a valid question about the impact of mathematics on the decision-making skills of managers. While these systems support decision-making, they may not be the sole catalyst for it. When it comes to mathematics on its own, people have mixed feelings – some love it, while others try to avoid it at all costs. Nevertheless, everyone acknowledges that math skills are indispensable.

This research represents the first step in a comprehensive study of the relationship between mathematics and decision-making, as well as an examination of mathematical skills. The aim is to understand the connection between mathematics and decision theory and to highlight the importance of the quality of mathematical education in the development of decision-making skills. The challenge lies in maintaining a positive relationship with math.
