Managers make decisions when they are involved in which managerial function?

Mary schedules a meeting with Clarise, a subordinate, because Clarise's

performance has dropped below a certain level. What type of decision does this represent?

When an organization's accounting department sends out a bill to a new customer,

what type of decision does this represent?

Nonroutine decisions made in response to novel situations in business are known as:

In the administrative model of decision making, when the number of possible

alternatives to a decision is so large that the manager cannot possibly evaluate all of them

before making a decision, this is called:

When managers know the possible outcomes of a decision and can assign

probabilities to each of these outcomes in terms of their likelihood of occurrence in the future, this is known as:

When managers cannot assign probabilities of future occurrence to possible

alternatives to a decision, this is known as:

When uncertainty exists, the probabilities of alternative outcomes __________ be determined and the future outcomes are _________.

When a manager makes a decision based on a generalization from a very small sample of information, this is known as:

1.      Managers make decisions whenever they are engaged in planning, organizing, leading, or controlling.

A routine decision is called a nonprogrammed decision.

Nonprogrammed decision-making is always required for routine decisions.

A common reason for poor decisions is that managers fail to specify the criteria that are important for making that particular decision.

Managers can be reactive in recognizing the need for a decision, but not proactive.

When a manager generalizes inappropriately from a small sample to a new situation and makes a poor decision as a result, representativeness bias has occurred.

When the members of a group try hard to agree, even when it is done without accurately assessing the information available to the group, we say that groupthink has occurred.

The ability of a decision-maker to discover novel ideas that lead to feasible alternatives in decision-making is known as creativity.

Group creativity can be increased by using brainstorming techniques.

When the outcomes of decision alternatives are known and their probabilities can be determined, a situation of uncertainty exists.
