Comparing the two candidates I would hire Michael for the position over Myra. Michael already possesses strong leadership and management skills. Although Myra has been at the company longer, with more product knowledge, she does not know about starting the website for the company. The challenge in hiring Michael for this position would be his lack of product information and experience in the related industry. This project aims to start up the company website in which he has proven experience. With his evolving leadership skills, he would be able to rely on his team and appoint Myra as his project manager to ensure the complete success of the launch of the website. The steps I used in the decision-making model were generating alternatives and evaluating the decision.
In your response posts to at least two peers, explain how the model you recommended using compares with the model your peers recommended using and how it would influence the decision-making process and outcome. You may use the following questions to help develop your response:
- What can examining a business problem through the lens of different decision-making models teach us about decision making?
- What other business decisions or situations would your peers' recommended decision-making models be most appropriate to use for, and why?
- What other business decisions or situations would your recommended decision-making model be most appropriate to use for, and why?
- Do you have questions for your peers about why they recommended the model they did?
