Question

A manager can faithfully execute the decision making process but still end up with nothing of value if __________________________________.

Answer 1

A) he fails to identify the correct problem

B) he fails to assign number values to different criteria

C) he solves the problem inefficiently

D) he fails to correctly identify the steps of the process

Answer:

A. He fails to identify the correct problem.

Explanation:

for option b, Assigning number values to decision criteria could be of help in the decision-making process, but it is not what is required for a successful outcome.

for option c, Solving the problem inefficiently is not ideal, but even at that, it is not without value.

for option d, Identifying the steps of the process has nothing much to do with how successful the process will be.

This leaves us with option A as the correct answer. it is of no good to solve a problem especially if the problem being solves is the wrong one. Solving a wrong problem is of no good to the organization.
