Answer 1

Answer:

The right choice is : "D- Managers will use intuition rather than rational analysis to make sound decisions when information is incomplete."

Explanation:

The concept of the classical model is that It prescribes the best ways to make decision where it is assumed that the environment/information for decision making is perfectly available.

So, in the model, there are four main assumptions as below:

+ Problems and expectations are all clearly defined and agree-upon by stakeholders;

+ The environment is very clear, there should be no uncertainty;

+ There is full of information supporting decision making;

+ Decision maker are rational and always acting in the organization's interests.

So, by re-visiting the concept, we can conclude "D" is the correct choice.
