"I expect all the managers in my department to act in complte rationality in every decision thy make," declared Mr. Sen, Vice-president of Marketing for the Apex Tea Company. "Everyone of us, no matter what his or her position, is hired to be a professional rationalist and I expect all of us not only to knowwhat they are doing and why, but to be right in thier decisions. I know that someone has said that a good manager needs only to be right in more than half of his or her decisions. But that is not good enough for me. I would agree that you may be excused for occasionally making a mistake, especially if it is a matter beyond your control, but I can never excuse you for not acting rationally".
"I agree with your idea, Mr. Sen," said Mr. Baruah, his Advertising Manager, "and I always try to be rational and logical in my decisions. But would you mind helping me be sure of this by explaining just what 'acting rationally, is?"
Questions:
1)Explain how the Vice-President of Marketing might d3escribe what is involved in making rational decisions.
2)If Baruah (Advertising Manager) the declares that there is no way he can be completely rational, ehat would you suggest as a reply?...
