Question

Analyze three decisions you made over the past six months. which of these were programmed and which were nonprogrammed? which model—the classical, administrative, or political—best describes the approach you took to making each decision?

Answer 1

A programmed decision is one where we use past experience to take the next step, while non-programmed decisions are more unique and specific to the situation. One decision that I would like to share is the one where I had to buy my car and the decision process I went through. It would come under programmed decision as I was completely assisted by past experiences from my boyfriend who had the same history of exploring different options. The model that describes this decision would be the “classical” model as the information is available. The other decision I would like to share is the one where I had to take decision on my future after my bachelor’s degree. The final decision was to pursue further studies in USA but this decision is more of non-programmed nature and it is very specific based on the situation. The third decision that I would like to share would be that of choosing Rich land College as my destination.
