Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Escalation of commitment is reinforced by the incrementalist approach to decision making, where decisions are made through small, incremental steps without fully considering the potential consequences of each step. This can lead to a situation where individuals and organizations become increasingly committed to a course of action even in the face of evidence that it is not working or is causing harm. The other approaches (unstructured, rational, and garbage can) are not as closely tied to escalation of commitment.
