MDQ STEP THREE: BUILDING THE DECISION

GATHERING INFORMATION

The purpose of this week’s brainstorming discussions is to address the type of information PPO needs to gather in coming up with creative alternatives to use in the MDQ decision making model. Useful information involves researching anything that the manager needs to know that might influence the decision making process. This includes experience from past or future situations as well as factual information. Even though the manager has no control over future events, information needs to be gathered to anticipate outcomes, consequences or actions when acting on PPO’s alternatives.

CREATING ALTERNATIVES:

In Building the Decision, the manager will create FOUR viable alternatives. The case study mentions several obvious alternatives, such as:

· Obtaining a bank loan

· Applying for another government loan

· Educating the public

· Setting up an Orangutan Sanctuary

· Harvesting deforested land

However, NONE of these alternatives are strong enough on their own. The manager must look for ways to combine them with other possibilities to make stronger alternatives. One of the things the manager needs to consider is how to raise money. The expectation is to create alternatives that are creative, demonstrate critical thinking, use additional research, and meet as many of the objectives as possible.

1. By TUESDAY, complete the following:

· All conclusions, justifications, reasonings, and explanations must be supported with course material in the form of APA in-text citations (page/paragraph numbers required) and a reference list.

· Discuss in one paragraph the type of information the manager needs to gather for PPO. Discuss the biases and traps that should be avoided.

· Create FOUR possible alternatives for PPO. Discuss each of these alternatives in separate paragraphs by explaining the alternative in detail, pointing out the biases, and potential consequences. Additional research will be required to support their viability.

Complete the rest by Wednesday November 24, 2019 by 11:00 PM EST.

2. the week, complete the following:

· Discuss amongst yourself which of the four proposed alternatives will be used by the class in moving forward into next week's Brainstorming Discussions. The logic and support used will be important in determining which four alternatives are the strongest for PPO.
