What is the difference between gene imprinting and gene dominance/recessiveness?

when 1 of 2 alleles are dominant, the dominant one is expressed in offspring (what makes cell decide one gene is dominant over the other?), in imprinting, either the maternal or paternal gene is expressed in the offspring, isn' this actually just another name for the dominant/recessive concept? thanks...
