Rational Decision-Making Steps 3/4 Paper

Overview
The objective of this assignment is to assess your degree of mastery of the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) by demonstrating that you can apply and integrate the key course concepts in a real-world context. Begin this paper by identifying an organization and its climate providing the context surrounding the problem and ensuing decision. Provide an overview of your analysis related to the first two steps in rational decision-making process. Following this, develop your paper to discuss your decision-making analysis of this problem as it relates to the third and fourth steps of the rational decision-making process. Within each of the before mentioned areas be sure to include examination of the following:

A) Introduction (suggested length – one page)
Give an overview of the organization so that the reader has all necessary context to determine the effectiveness your progress related to the decision-making process. Be sure to include an overview of the first two steps in the decision-making process.

B) Decision-Making Process Analysis (suggested length – two pages)
Describe the third and fourth steps of the rational decision-making process as it applies to the identified problem. Be sure to include:
3. Weighing the Criteria
4. Generating Alternatives

C) Mitigating Bias (suggested length – one page)
Identify one bias that could impact a potential solution to the problem you identified. You are to identify and examine barriers that hinder objective analysis and evaluation of decision-making. Thoroughly explain a bias that you can apply to the potential decision so that ultimately you end up with picking the best alternative without bias. Ultimately, for your critical assignment, you will pick one bias from each heuristic area of Availability, Representativeness, Confirmation. Use Table 3.2 for comprehensive list of biases (Bazerman & Moore, 2013).
