Vaughn Bately manages a group of eight electrical engineers at Defiance Designs. His team is highly trained and well respected by experts both inside and outside the company. Recently one of Vaughn's engineers suggested a new technique for the development and use of an argon laser. There appeared to be rich potential for this technology, but Vaughn wasn't certain that developing this technology was the best use of his limited resources. Vaughn was facing a significant decision.
If Vaughn uses the classical model of decision making, which of these assumptions would he reject?
a. The decision maker is rational and uses logic in assigning values and evaluating alternatives.
