rational choices that maximize the achievement of successful outcomes. The premise of the
political decision-making model is that the power for decision making is held by individuals
who assume positions of power or authority. Experimentation involves the use of a pilot
project to test the effectiveness of a solution. The trial-and-error method is used by
inexperienced managers and involves the application of one solution after another to improve
a problem.
