Morphology
better + decision-making
This phrase is fully compositional: 'better' (more effective/improved) modifies 'decision-making' (the process of making decisions), so a learner who knows the words 'better', 'decision', and 'making' can infer it means making more informed or improved choices. The structure and meaning are cross-linguistically common (comparative + process noun), so it is immediately transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Better decision-making paints a clear picture: imagine standing at a fork in the road and picking the best path. Here decision is the choice and making is the act of picking carefully, so it means 'choosing in a more informed and useful way'.
