87. Liam
is the head of the Buildings and Grounds Department at Waterford-Beckman
Company, a small manufacturing firm. Recently, the firm that was handling
refuse disposal for Waterford-Beckman declared bankruptcy, and Liam was asked
to recommend another hauler who would provide good service at a reasonable
price. Three months earlier, Liam's brother-in-law had started a refuse
disposal business. Unfortunately, he was having difficulty soliciting contracts
since most area companies already had arrangements with other haulers. Liam
instructed his brother-in-law to submit a bid at 10% below what the now
bankrupt firm had been charging. He did not seek any other bids. On the basis
of that single bid, Liam recommended his brother-in-law's company as the new
hauler for Waterford-Beckman. The decision making model that was used in this
example would best be characterized as the ____ model.
|
a.
|
rational
|
|
b.
|
political
|
|
c.
|
bounded rationality

|
d.
