Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonprogrammed decisions are best in new, complex, and unrecognized situations because they require managers to use their judgment, creativity and analytical skills to determine a solution. These situations are unfamiliar, and there is no established procedure or protocol to follow, therefore, nonprogrammed decisions are necessary.  Structured decisions are best for routine or well-defined situations, while external and direct decisions are too limited in their scope and ability to address new and complex situations. Irrelevant decisions may be counterproductive and harmful to the organization.
