In your position of office manager at a legal firm, you are in charge of hiring temporary legal assistants and clerical workers. Describe how Simon's decision-making process applies to this decision
Could that decision be aided by an information system in any way, and if so, how?
The decision-making process is:
1. Intelligence, or problem discovery: How many temps need to be hired, for how long, and what skills would they need?
2. Design, or solution discovery: What temp agencies are available and what are their prices?
3. Choice, or choosing solutions: Evaluate the offerings of the temp agencies, and evaluate the abilities of temps as per need.
4. Implementation, or solution testing: Evaluate the work of each temp against assignments and other needs.
An information system that displayed the temps available for hire along with pertinent information such as rate, and past assignments and evaluations would help in this process.
