Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The administrative model emphasizes rationality and efficiency in decision-making, and focuses on finding the most practical solution to a problem. In this case, television executives likely evaluated the available options (Cooper being a familiar face with successful guest hosting stints) and chose the most viable, practical solution (creating a new show around Cooper) to fill the void left by Philbin's retirement.
