Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rational decision making involves identifying alternatives and evaluating them based on certain criteria in order to choose the best option. The other options listed do not necessarily align with the process of rational decision making: 
A) Divergent interests imply a lack of agreement or cooperation among decision makers, which does not align with the cooperative and collaborative nature of rational decision making. 
B) Satisficing refers to selecting an option that meets a satisfactory level of criteria rather than attempting to find the absolute best option. While this may be a practical approach, it does not necessarily involve the full evaluation of all alternatives associated with rational decision making. 
C) Utilization of standardized responses may involve following pre-established rules or procedures, which may reduce the need for extensive evaluation of alternatives. However, this does not allow for the flexibility and range of options associated with rational decision making.
