Question

Javier is the manager at a software company. His team has been tasked with finding a solution for some annoying bugs found in their new spreadsheet software. Javier knows that there is an elegant solution, but the time and effort it will take to implement would push back the software release significantly, so he works with his team to come up with a faster, less elegant solution that can be implemented in time for the software to be released on schedule. What type of decision is Javier making?

Answer 1

Answer:

Javier chooses the satisficing technique for decision making.

Explanation:

Satisficing is a technique of decision making where the choice is made that would result in a satisfactory result. However, the result is not the best solution and can be optimized. In this case, Javier can improve the results of the software. However, he chooses to go for the solution which delivers the project in lesser time rather than the optimal solution. Therefore, the technique he is using for decision making is satisficing.
