Arbitrary OR Capricious decision-making


Explanation:
These adjectives mean determined by or arising from whim or caprice rather than judgment or reason: an arbitrary decision; a capricious refusal; a whimsical remark.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/arbitrary

Example sentence(s):
  • if you rely on capricious decision-making, though many of the decisions might be dubious, at least you won't feel guilty when you dump the decision.
