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.
For example, could I say 在京东所有重要的决策由刘强东拍板
or should I say 决定？
Thanks for your help!
决策is a noun and can only be used as a noun for example 这是一个非常重要的决策。this is a very important decision. 决定 is a verb but also a noun verb example 你要决定你想去哪。you need to decide where you want to go noun example 这是老板的决定，不是我的。this is the boss's decision, not mine. hope this helps. P.S. I am Chinese.
decide --- 决定(verb)
decision --- 决定(noun)
policy decision --- 决策
decision making --- 决策
decision theory --- 决策论
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？
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
For example, could I say 在京东所有重要的决策由刘强东拍板
決策 is strategy, a noun.

決定 is "to determine", roughly used as a verb:

by the way, 决 (u+51b3) is, well, not ... it should be 決 (u+6c7a), have a look of this page:
http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/search.php?word=決
it states clearly: 決﹒行流也﹒从水从夬
三點﹒部首「水」也﹒兩點﹒部首「冫」也, get it :)
决策更倾向于一个“策略”（策） 决定更强调一个“结果”（定） 决定不光可以做动词也可以做名词 决策一般用作名词
