1. Structured decisions are the decisions which are made under the established situations for example hiring a new employee while unstructured decisions are made under the emergent situation, for example fire breakout.
2. Structured decisions are the programmable decisions and they are preplanned for example the payroll for employees while unstructured decisions are creative and they are not preplanned for example if fire break there and then manager can make decision unplanned.
3. Structured decisions are made in the situations which are fully understood while in unstructured decisions the situations are uncertain and unclear.
4. Structured decisions are generally made for routine tasks, for instance the hiring of new IT specialists in a firm while unstructured decisions are made for a sudden one-shot kind of situations, for instance, dealing with a labor strike in a factory.
5. Structured decisions are made for specified processes like specialized manufacturing processes while unstructured decisions are made for general processes.
6. Structured decisions have a well defined methodology for finding a solution and have the data to reach a decisions.
