A few months ago, Al Moore bought a shipment of new-style mouse traps from a

  represent?

  c. Irrationality
  d. Rationality
  e. Escalated commitment



Question 2

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


 
 

a. Political
  b. Intuition
  c. Escalation of commitment
