Application of Decision Making: A Contingency Approach
It seems that all Dave accomplishes is making decisions. Every time he turns around, someone wants him to decide on one more thing. Just today the secretary came in and asked if she could reorder paper for the fax machine. Somehow that seemed like a decision he really did not need to deal with. If he could avoid those types of decisions, then when the foreman came in with the news of a major piece of equipment that needs repair, in which the repair bill will be almost as much as a new machine, Dave could focus more time and attention on the more complicated issues.
-The decision about how to handle the equipment repair/replacement is

A) well- structured.
B) programmed.
C) ill- structured.
D) nonprogrammed.
