"take a decision" vs. "make a decision" #16 (permalink) Sat Dec 13, 2008 18:59 pm   "take a decision" vs. "make a decision"
 

We say "take a decision" mostly in British English and "make a decision" mostly in American English. They mean the same!

I was also surprised at the number of times I've read and
heard "take a decision" in the last couple of years. Most
of the sources were British (BBC, The Economist'''

As far as I know, there is not yet a "decision-taking
process". You can never be wrong with "decision-making
process".
