Question

Pat has to select the right paper clips to purchase for her office. She looks at the office supply catalog and picks the first one that is priced reasonably. Which method of making a decision does she use? Multiple Choice forecasting maximizing satisficing optimizing brainstorming

Answer 1

Answer:

Statisficing

Explanation:

Statisficing refers to the method of decision making which focused on only fulfilling minimum requirement necessary to achieve a certain goal. (in most cases, this goal would not be particularly important in the person's lives)

From the excerpt above, we can see that Pat does not particularly meddle in the quality of the paper clips. She does not want to waste time in choosing between different varieties, so she just take the first and cheapest one she find in the supply catalog.
