Answer to Question 1

Managerial decision making involves four steps: (1 ) identifying the problem--the discrepancy between an actual condition and a desired condition; (2 ) generating alternatives--after problem identification, alternatives need to be generated; (3 ) selecting an alternative--managers must select the alternative that will be most effective and practical; and (4 ) implementing and evaluating the solution--devoting resources to the implementation of the selected alternative and, finally, evaluating the decision's effectiveness.
