Answer to Question 1

The rational-economic approach examines and evaluates all possible alternatives to reach an optimal decision. This model assumes that people have access to complete and perfect information and use it to make perfect decisions. However, decision makers rarely, if ever, have complete and perfect information or the time to evaluate it. The administration model, including the concepts of bounded rationality and satisficing, recognizes that people generally do not act in a completely rational-economic manner.
