Question

Which step in the problem-solving process are the group members in the following situation currently engaged in?

A marketing team has come up with a way to market a product that has not been selling well. The team meets to discuss necessary resources and decide who will take on which aspects of the work.

Identify possible solutions.
Select a solution.
Implement the solution.
Monitor the effects.

Answer 1

The answer is "Identify possible solutions."

They are still in the first stage, as they just started their meeting and are therefore going over each other's jobs for the project & resources needed. Therefore, they have not yet selected a solution. Since they have not selected a solution, you can eliminate "select a solution", "implement the solution", and "monitor the effects", leaving you with "identify possible solutions" as your answer.
