Answer to Question 1

Satisficing management is characterized by a stable environment and high adaptation. Emphasis is on centralized decision making with problems referred to the top and clearly defined procedures and roles. Change is accomplished at a good enough rate, but primary concern is not with pacesetting. This response is acceptable when pressure for change is low, but as change is avalanching on our heads a firm that settles for a satisficing orientation is in jeopardy of losing its competitive edge. Toffler's concept of greatly accelerating rate of change means that satisficing management is inadequate to deal with today's organizations.
