Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decentralizing decision making to people with specific knowledge, in this case the engineers who have spent time investigating fuel cell technology, would be the best option. This would allow for the decision to be made by those who have the most knowledge and expertise in the area, rather than leaving it solely up to the CEO who admits to not fully understanding the technology. This would lead to a more informed and potentially successful decision.
