What will be an ideal response?
Top management is the most likely to use a general problem solving group, even if
they do not go through all the steps. The reason is that executives may not be
willing to invest the time to use structured problem-solving techniques. Also they
might feel they are beyond using such techniques. An exception is that managers
are likely to engage in brainstorming-like discussions--even if they do not use all the
brainstorming rules.
