Question

Adeline runs a multi-cuisine restaurant. On the day of a big event at the restaurant, the chefs run out of cooking gas. At this point, Adeline brings her staff together to discuss how quick arrangements could be made for procuring more cooking gas. She allows the chefs to make the decision on what needs to be done next. In the context of the normative decision theory, which of the following decision styles has Adeline adopted in this scenario?
A) The AI decision style
B) The AII decision style
C) The CI decision style
D) The GII decision style

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The GII decision style

Explanation:

This is the situation or technique whereby a leader calls his team together seeking ideas and input (brainstorming together) to find solutions to apparent problems facing them. The overall decision of the group brainstorming is what is accepted and used. This is based on the Vroom–Yetton contingency model is a situational leadership theory of industrial and organizational psychology. In the GII decision style, the final decision is no longer the leaders decision again. The leader allows free flow of discussion during the brainstorming session and doesn't impose his will. Here, Adeline calls her staff together to brainstorm a solution to the finished gas problem in front of them.
