Useful phrase : to make a decision

What is the difference between make decision and take decision?

This is simply regional variation, with no difference in meaning.

• The phrase "making a decision" is the more common phrase. It can refer to the actual moment where a course of action is chosen (and just that moment), but also sometimes to the whole process leading up to it (where one might undertake research, have discussions, think and so on, in order to prepare oneself for the decision itself): "The committee took several months to make a decision."
• The phrase "taking a decision", by contrast, only refers to the decisive moment itself, and not to the process leading up to it. It has more formal connotation, and an implication that the decision will have serious consequences, and that the person deciding will be responsible for them; it has a sense of finality about it.

Some examples may help clarify:

• I haven't made a decision about where to go on holiday. (Informal, consequences not serious, nobody's going to hold me to account.)
• The president took the decision to invade Elbonia.
• Bob was fired because he took the decision to outsource the call centre to Mars.
• The decision-making process took a number of weeks: the engineers did the research and made recommendations, but it was the manager who took the final decision.

We make decisions every single day. As we explore in this video, you'll see that some decisions are simple, others are more complex.
