Question

Emily Boyce, a project manager at an insurance firm, regularly satisfices while making decisions. She often comes across complicated problems which would take a long time to resolve. Due to the pressing deadlines, she often meets project goals by satisficing a large number of her decisions. Which of the following is Boyce most likely to do?

A) seek complete information while making decisions
B) search for solutions that are reasonable
C) identify all possible options to solutions
D) analyze each alternative in an unbiased manner
E) choose the optimal solution to each problem

Answer 1

B) search for solutions that are reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

When Emily solves her work problems by satisficing a large number of decisions, it means that she makes the decisions that are barely adequate to solve the issues. She doesn't take the time to make the best possible ones. Since she has a very tight work schedule, she doesn't have the time to search all the necessary information nor to search all the possible options. She doesn't have the time to analyze which alternative is best, she will take whatever option she finds first.
