Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Considering the obstacles that face managers today, it is not realistic to believe they could be completely rational. Problems and goals for managers are unclear, alternatives and consequences are unknown and much of what a manager faces is outside of their control.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Intuition can give people insight into questions that involve ethics and values, past experience, or knowledge and training. What intuition cannot provide is any kind of formal or mathematical analysis, so provides a formal analysis method is the correct choice here.
