Answer:
The answers are:
1. nonprogrammed decision
2. programmed decision
3. nonprogrammed decision
4. programmed decision
Explanation:
Programmed decisions are decisions for which the decision maker has developed certain set of guiding rules for, over time, as a result of repetition. Here the results can be predicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy, because the situations surrounding the circumstances are well known. In our example, feeding the puppy overtime has become routine, hence it is a programmed decision, also, the choice of tea at Starbucks is a programmed decision because you know what to expect and that is because you have tried the other varieties and come to a conclusion on the choices to be made which is well understood.
On the contrary, a nonprogrammed or nonroutine decision is a decision that is based on circumstances that are not entirely predictable to a reasonable extent. The structure of the circumstances surrounding the decision to be made is not well understood. There are so many "what ifs". These decisions can be said to be novel, and they are not routine. In our example, the choice of the constructor to use for your kitchen design and the decision by the accounting firm on whether to renew the lease or relocate are nonprogrammed because these decisions are not everyday decisions and the decision makers are not certain what the outcomes will be depending on the choices they make, if they will eventually regret it or not.
