What is heuristics?
A) Discrete, unconscious process to allow individuals to solve
problems quickly
B) Set of rules to encourage learners to discover solutions for
themselves
C) Formal process and structure in the decision-making process
D) Trial-and-error method or rules-of-thumb approach - ANS-Ans:
A
Feedback:
Most individuals rely on discrete, often unconscious processes
known as heuristics,
which allows them to solve problems more quickly and to build
upon experiences they
have gained in their lives. Thus, heuristics use trial-and-error
methods or a rules-ofthumb
approach, rather than set rules, and in doing so, encourages
learners to discover
solutions for themselves.
Which statement is true regarding an economic man style
manager?
A) Lacks complete knowledge and generates few alternatives
B) Makes decisions that may not be ideal but result in solutions
that have an adequate
outcome
,C) Makes most management decisions using the administrative
man model of
decision making
D) These managers gather as much information as possible and
generate many
alternatives - ANS-Ans: D
Feedback:
Economic managers gather as much information as possible and
generate many
alternatives. Most management decisions are made by using the
administrative man
model of decision making. The administrative man never has
complete knowledge and
generates fewer alternatives.
,What statement is true regarding decision making?
A) It is an analysis of a situation
B) It is closely related to evaluation
C) It involves choosing between courses of action
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a problem - ANS-
Ans: C
Feedback:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as
choosing a particular
course of action. Problem solving is part of decision making and is
a systematic process
that focuses on analyzing a difficult situation. Critical thinking,
sometimes referred to as
reflective thinking, is related to evaluation and has a broader
scope than decision
making and problem solving.
What is a weakness of the traditional problem-solving model?
A) Its need for implementation time
B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives - ANS-Ans: A
Feedback:
The traditional problem-solving model is less effective when time
constraints are a
consideration. Decision making can occur without the full analysis
required in problem
solving. Because problem solving attempts to identify the root
problem in situations,
much time and energy are spent on identifying the real problem.
Which of the following statements is true regarding decision
making?
A) Scientific methods provide identical decisions by different
individuals for the
, same problems
B) Decisions are greatly influenced by each person's value
system
C) Personal beliefs can be adjusted for when the scientific
approach to problem
solving is used
D) Past experience has little to do with the quality of the decision -
ANS-Ans: B
Feedback:
Values, life experience, individual preference, and individual ways
of thinking will
influence a person's decision making. No matter how objective
the criteria will be, value
judgments will always play a part in a person's decision making,
either consciously or
subconsciously.
What influences the quality of a decision most often?
A) The decision maker's immediate superior
B) The type of decision that needs to be made
C) Questions asked and alternatives generated
D) The time of day the decision is made - ANS-Ans: C
Feedback:
The greater the number of alternatives that can be generated by
the decision maker, the
better the final decision will be. The alternatives generated and
the final choices are
limited by each person's value system.
What does knowledge about good decision making lead one to
believe?
A) Good decision makers are usually right-brain, intuitive thinkers
B) Effective decision makers are sensitive to the situation and to
others
C) Good decisions are usually made by left-brain, logical thinkers
