Identify the assumptions of the rational decision-making model. Do these hold true in most situations?   

What will be an ideal response?


The assumptions are:

1. There is complete information and no uncertainty.
2. Logical and unemotional analysis is possible.
3. The best decision for the organization will be chosen.

The assumptions may not hold true in most situations. According to the research by Herbert Simon, managers cannot truly act logically because of bounded rationality. Constraints include complexity, time, cognitive capacity, and imperfect or too much information, among others.
