In an environment of high uncertainty, a manager will probably have a difficult time generating alternatives because there is limited information available and therefore fewer options to consider. Programmed decisions are typically used in environments of low uncertainty where the decision can be made based on routine procedures or rules. Additionally, relying on the classical model of decision making may not be effective in high uncertainty environments as the assumptions of the model may not hold. Waiting until the environment becomes certain is also not a practical option as the manager may miss out on opportunities or be left behind competitors who are making decisions in the uncertain environment.
