A few months ago, Al Moore bought a shipment of new-style mouse traps from a
  fast-talking sales representative. He was convinced they would sell like hotcakes. To his
  surprise, he has not sold a single one, but he refuses to mark them down because he would
  lose money on them. What behavioral influence on decision making does this action
  represent?

 
 

a. Intuition
  b. Political
  c. Irrationality
  d. Rationality
  e. Escalated commitment

Question 2

When Peoples Express was founded, the company embraced a very informal management

  managerial behavior represents which of the behavioral factors influencing decision
  making?
