决 is the simplified character for 決, with a long long history dating back to Han Dynasty.

i knew it.
well, 决 is not in the 國語辭典, nor 漢語多功能字庫; then 說文解字 stated clearly 从水从夬. 从水, the radical should be 氵(U+6c35).

<p>It depends on what authority (or veto power maybe) that 刘强东 has. Also it sounds redundant to say 重要的决策, can you think of any 不重要的决策？</p>

<p>If I were to say it, it's either 
在京东所有的决策由刘强东拍板
or
在京东所有重要的决定由刘强东拍板</p>

<p>For example, could I say 在京东所有重要的决策由刘强东拍板</p>

<p>I'm trying to understand the difference between 决策 and 决定. It seems like 决策 is used more formally and in the case of business contexts more (e.g. 战略决策 - strategic decision)。 But, I wasn't sure if that was entirely rue. </p>

<p>For example, could I say 在京东所有重要的决策由刘强东拍板</p>

<p>or should I say 决定？ </p>

<p>Thanks for your help! </p>

### Answer by username_4 on 2021-08-27. Score: 1

决策 is mostly used as noun and Predicate, while 决定 can be used both as noun and verb.

**决策 as Predicate in Idioms:**

when uses as Predicate it's short for 决定策略, which means decide the policies and strategies to apply

运筹决策(make decision through operations research)

决策千里(make strategic decision from thousand miles away)

**决策 as noun:**

重大决策(big and important decision)

**决定 as noun**

我做了个正确的决定(I made a right decision)

**决定 as verb**

我决定学习汉语(I decided to learn Chinese)

when use as noun they have very similar meaning, only 决策 stresses that the decision is calculated and important. while 决定 is neutral.

by the way, **策** means compiled Bamboo slip(竹简) you can google photos for it. In ancient times our ancestors wrote on 竹简. important things are recorded on 竹简. so 竹简 becomes the symbol of knowledge.
