Question

Your organization hires a consultant to analyze its decision-making practices, and the consultant determines that most decisions are made according to the administrative model. What does this tell you about decisions at your organization?
A- Managers usually seek out the best possible solution to problems

B- Before making a decision, managers usually have clear criteria in mind to evaluate alternatives

C- The soundness of decisions is often limited because managers are unaware of problems or opportunities that exist in the organization

D- Decisions are not constrained by limitations of human ability, information, or resources

Answer 1

Answer:

C- The soundness of decisions is often limited because managers are unaware of problems or opportunities that exist in the organization

Explanation:

Administrative decision making is moderately rational decision making which considers a limited amount of criteria, not taking the broader picture into account. Therefore, certain problems and potential complications can arise if a more complex analysis of decision factors is not conducted.

In other words, a few possible outcomes are analysed and managers ettle for the one that seems optimal in that limited range.
