Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The garbage-can model of decision-making describes how managers may propose solutions to problems that do not exist and may have solutions available to them that they try to fit to a problem. This model turns the decision-making process around and proposes that managers work with different solutions simultaneously and select one rather than starting from the problem and finding a solution. The other options (Carnegie, rational, and incrementalist) do not describe this process.
