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?a. Intuition b. Bounded rationality c. Brainstorming d. Satisficing

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Satisficing

Explanation:

"According to Herbert Simon, people tend to make decisions by satisficing (a combination of sufficing and satisfying) rather than optimizing (Simon, 1956). Decisions are often simply good enough in light of the costs and constraints involved. As a heuristic, satisficing individuals will choose options that meet basic decision criteria. A focus on satisficing can be used by choice architects when decision makers are prone to procrastination (Johnson et al., 2012)"
