The situation described is most closely related to the garbage can model of decision making, where decisions are made based on a mixture of problems, solutions, and participant preferences. In this model, decisions may not always be made based on a clear set of goals or agreed-upon actions. The fact that each manager prefers a different decision-making model suggests that there is not a clear, shared set of preferences or goals guiding the decision-making process, further supporting the idea that the decision-making process at Sunrise Health Systems may be more closely aligned with the garbage can model.
